No spaces. Spaces are for en-dashes.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

It is open enrollment. At my job most of the employees do not have work computers as they are truck drivers. Our benefits are set up to be employee controlled, meaning you do not fill out forms and send them to HR, you do everything online yourself. Do you think my people are computer literate? Do you think they bookmark these webpages from year to tear or write down their passwords? Less than half do. I have spent over 2 hours on the phone the last 2 days just trying to get 2 users onto the website. Over 20 min to get a web address entered correctly.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I have been wondering for a long time- is the m-dash what was a double hyphen when I was typing on a typewriter? I used to use it a lot-- dash, dash, space when I was writing papers in collegeto indicate a sort of break in my thoughts-- like this. But I don't lnow what to use know, and I don't really know how to get the proper dashes in Word.

Word automatically changes 2 hyphens to an em dash.

Oh but jeez - either 2 spaces or no spaces. The single space at the end is making my eye twitch.

When I'm putting fic online, I make sure to use the -- (with spaces) because different people's systems convert the em dash differently. Though maybe people aren't copying fic off websites as often as I do. Fancy formatting turns into weird symbols in my tablet, I have a whole collection of macros I run to convert files into plain text. No curly quotes for me.

I'm volunteer-tutoring at my local high school, and one of the things that the counselor was most enthusiastic about was me helping the college applicants. Not just helping them with essays, but evidently the computer skills needed to upload transcripts, scan pictures and so on are a big time-sink for staff and students.
A reminder to me that not every student comes from a household with a computer....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I called in sick today, but I thought I would log in remotely and take care of these two things that I knew had to get done today and ought to have been easy. Well, one was in fact easy. I'm at the point where the other one can just fuck off. I tried handing it off to someone else, maybe they can take care of it...
