Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

or was it Lotus Notes? anyone remember that one?

Notes, or 1-2-3?

Oh, man. Probably 1-2-3, come to think of it.

Yep. The original spreadsheet software on an Apple II with a Silentwriter thermal printer.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

My business computer software class in college (1986, IIRC) taught us 1-2-3, WordPerfect, and I think Lotus Notes. I remember using WordPerfect for our group paper in history, and when we tried to merge the four separate papers we were typing, we lost everything. I had to stay another 12 hours just to retype the whole thing (45 pages) myself, since I was the fastest typist and we didn't want to risk having to merge multiple files again.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

As noted, askye, check with your temp agency about tutorials. My old agency offered them.

oh ... I watched the original Dark Shadows when it was new.

Me too. If I ran home from school I could just catch the last half of it.

I used to work at Lotus! Back when 1-2-3 was the biggest selling software on Earth. When I looked at the (short) list of best-selling software I turned to the person next to me and asked, "What's Microsoft?"

"Eh, that's just an operating system."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I am so done with being an adult for the day. I desperately need to go do laundry. (dog. UTI. sheets) but have run a severe spoon deficit and have a headache. Puppy boy has, unsurprisingly, an entirely different interpretation of every situation than I do - he had a scheduled meeting today with his sponsoring org, and I spoke to her afterwards.

Also, there is still apparently consensus that I am condescending. That doesn't surprise me, it's feedback I've gotten for a long time in leadership positions, but I no one seems to be able to quantify what it is exactly. Tone, I'm guessing. I don't fucking know.

Thank God for leftover pizza. Then a shower and then bed, I think.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

We used it on the same. Held the entire inventory for a manufacturing company, on floppy disks. I had it at home too, but not so fancy as to have an actual printer. I had less trouble with technology then.

I have not been an adult at all today. Didn't bother to go to the office, although I did work remotely. I am only now getting around to hitting the shower. Perhaps that shall perk me up some.

eta: YaY, Hil's mom!
