What the hell are interns for?
We have a (text) PDF table that we need in Excel format. Because PDFs do what they do, there's no simple way to convert from one to the other. IF THERE WERE, I'D DO IT MYSELF. I've been asking him all week to give me a usable spreadsheet, and nope. Attempt #1 had a new row for each line of text (so if a row of the table was three lines long in the PDF, the excel spreadsheet was three rows for that data). I asked him to make sure it was a legit table in Excel, and not only does he give me a zip file of five spreadsheets, one per page, he tells me, well, he could have made them five worksheets.
IT IS ONE TABLE. WHY FIVE ANYTHING? MAKE ME AN EXCEL SPREADSHEET. SINGULAR.
Now I still can't easily see all the information, and turns out--all the hard returns are preserved, and so resizing rows and columns is pretty useless. I explain this to him, mentioning that on Monday I can get the original spreadsheet, but I'd hoped to have it manually converted by now...
He is agog at the idea of cleaning those up, so I'll have to search and replace my damned self.
I know they don't teach sense in university, but my plan to take him to lunch and talk about his career goals just evaporated.
If it's not pun thing, it's another.
No idea if it would help, but I'd be happy to give it a shot.
Ok, thanks. profile addy good? I can send you an invitation via email. Anybody else working Duolingo wanna join the party?
Pix, the tattoo that Allyson got on her neck looked really vibrant and well done--you could drop her a line too. I think it might have been in your neck of the woods.
NEED TO GET OFF SELF'S ASS AND GET SECOND TAT.
Gud, Gud, Gud.
Check out this couple's movie poster wedding announcements.
You know what? Those are cool and all, but I have had it with all the escalation of this shit. Not that I'm getting married anytime soon, but damn, son -- we will have some generic invitation, and it will be FINE.

Just when are they going to get around to forcing everyone to gay marry, anyway?
Gud, Gud, Gud.
There's nothing wrong with a couple of puns.

It's an active email, but not the one associated with my Duolingo account. I can send that email to you, though. Shall I send it to your profile addy?

I've been in Massachusetts for almost four years already! And nothing! I thought the paperwork would come in the mail or something.

Some guy on IO9 posted an invitation that was at least nominated for an award
for novellas.
I consider that the nuclear option, and will only invite people to my wedding verbally¹ if I see them in passing.
¹: It seems confusing² that 'verbally'
sometimes
means 'not written'
²: It also seems confusing that this one spreadsheet I'm printing out would take up more pages if I printed it on legal. I get why, but it
seems
confusing.
