Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My boss just gave me a document with some revisions, and she had "deleted" a lot with track changed on. So I was going through hitting "accept change" and the words were still there.
Turns out that she had put a strikethrough manually through each word with formatting because she wanted me to be able to see it. BUT THAT IS WHAT TRACK CHANGES DOES!!!! So I just deleted all the strikethroughs and hit accept all changes.
I just tried to show her, and she does not get it.
Oh, Sophia. Oh.
I have so been there. You poor thing.

Oh, god, people have done this on docs I'm responsible for before too. I'm so sorry.
food report from yesterday
finished the V-8, a jar of jelly, and the last box of tea. More hot sauce got used, so we are down to about half a bottle.
heh ... I recently had a long discussion with someone I was preparing a blast email for - she was saying she wanted things to appear in a specific way, in a specific place, using what she saw on her screen as the model. I tried to explain that unless the recipient had exactly the same system with the exact settings chances were they'd see it differently and that I was trying to set it up to be acceptable for everyone.
yeah, that went over well
And it makes sense that if you travel on the card and then spend money at your destination, then they know.
But would they know where you're going? My flights just show up as SOUTHWEST on my statement. I bought my flight for San Diego next month months ago, but Chase doesn't know where and when I'll be in July.

Try explaining that about HTML 12 years ago. Then, in my absence, my boss went with an all Flash site and blew up at me when I explained the site wasn't bookmarkable or searchable. Oh, the joys of working at a technology company run by technophobes.

The example in the article Tom linked to seemed to know. I'm not sure if the company has more information than they put on your statement.

Oh dear.
This is probably silly, but when I'm in the airport, I buy a bottle of water with the card I'm going to be using on the trip. That way the company can see where I went.
I am so not off the grid.
