move out and draw fire

aaannd I just received annual job goals from one of my employees in an Excel spreadsheet. Also he spelled it "gaol" which might be a Freudian slip.

Mal suggested that I add "Get my team to use the right software for the job" to my annual goals.

OMG Toddson, Mal and I just laughed until we were streaming tears. (However I think I'm going to recommend it to the woman that Mal cat-sits for).

That seems like something that could happen if you went from Word for Windows, to Word for a Mac, and back to Word for Windows. At least, I've seen other, similarly odd changes happen with OS switches.

I can vouch for that. I see Σ in place of bullets in text I transport from Word documents (from writers and editors who use PCs) to InDesign files all the time. I've long assumed it was a conversion issue between operating systems, as it's statistically unlikely that many people would use Greek letters for bullet points.

Tab order of a form with over 80 fillable cells almost broke me last night. SO TEDIOUS! Also I’ve had no training in Adobe, so I very possibly am doing things in horrible convoluted ways.

I once had to generate a fillable form document with with something like 500 unique form fields in a gigantic table. As I recall, it took me more than an 8-hour day to complete just the one form.

That seems like a useful goal...

Meanwhile got my results from the speed dating I did Saturday. I marked 1 person for friends, and 4 people as friends or date. I was v proud of myself because that’s like four more people than I would usually mark? Sadly the results gave me only two people who marked me as friends. Bummer. Especial bummer is the one person who I’m already friends with on fb (we are acquaintances/friends of friends) who I thought we had flirted in the past...she didn’t even mark me as friends apparently! Hmph.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

My boss has serious problems with Excel. Every so often, he'll ask me to either fix a file or come in and explain to him why the file/spreadsheet is wonky. Sometimes, it turns out that the issue is it's been saved as a CSV file ... which blocks a number of Excel's features.
