We used to send out a file that had been, unfortunately, rigidly formatted (page breaks, column breaks, section breaks ... oy) but we'd found that if it looked weird a lot of the time switching views (from layout to draft and back) would clear up the problem. I once had a guy on the phone who, when I told him this, argued back and forth about it, asking why changing the view would help, it didn't make any sense ... until one of his tech support people came in and, while he was whining at me, changed the view, changed it back, and WOW! it worked! He thought his tech support person had worked a miracle ....
We knocked 'em deader!

[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.

Teppy, much it's nothing ~ma for your dad.
I have yet to find a dose of pain medication that helps with my pain, which sounds similar to the pain Omnis was describing, so maybe I need to stretch more. Usually taking more Advil just results in a stomach ache and continued pain.
I couldn't remember whether or not we were shelving at the library bookstore today. So, I wandered over there, but nobody was there. Now I'm at the coffee shop.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The house showing went very well today. Emeline really liked it. The backyard is fabulous, the basement is cozy and finished nicely. The kitchen has horrendous wallpaper, but the owner said that he doesn't care what we do the house. He is looking for long, long term tenants and since he knows me (third generation family friends - I have known this man since he was literally born.)he is glad to have someone he knows in the house because he knows we'll take care of it.
Plus, his mom told him to rent to us because I am "a good egg. Just like her mom."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Aims, that sounds really really good.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Hot damn, Aims, that's very promising indeed. All digits crossed!

Encouraging news, Aims.

Oh, yay, Empress.
I hate when customers ask me "why is it doing that?" I don't know, it does, and this is the way we've found out that fixes it. "But this computer is identical the other computer, and the other computer doesn't do it." It's not identical! It may be something as miniscule as the bad computer got too close to a magnetic field. I am not a programmer, I am tech support! I have no problem blaming programmers.
