I use tables in Word a lot when I'm taking notes for genealogy things -- it's useful for that, where I can do things like make a table for each person, listing each document I have about them and what information that document gives, and then I can easily see when a document that ought to exist is missing, or where there's a contradiction between two documents, or things like that. But doing it in Word also gives me the space to put text notes above and below and in between the tables, and do footnotes as I'm working, and so on. Then there's a lot of copying and pasting from that notes document into the actual report when I write it.
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

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

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I used tables in Word this morning to make a shapes worksheet...I felt a little bad about it because of this conversation, but I don't have a better tool for the job.
There was an office lady at one school where I worked who did everything in PowerPoint. She set the slide size to 8.5x11 and printed out the results.

Thanks, Dana. Looks like all the local sites are out, but I'll keep checking.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I literally kept getting different results every time I refreshed, so keep an eye on it if you can.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Mr. S's school marked 100 days of school yesterday. Among the thing he brought home was a necklace made of Froot Loops strung on a string. Of course he cut the string and has been munching on cereal all day. ADHD + sugar + artificial colors= wild child. sigh.

What a completely unexpected and not at all forseeable result.
(On the school's part, I mean)

Well, I didn't foresee the string cutting. (I assumed he'd just eat them straight off the string candy necklace-style.) Other than that...

Seems like they could be given a directive not to provide certain foods for kids.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Peanut's class did the cereal necklace thing, too, but with Froot Loops only every 10, with Cheerios as the rest. It was something, hearing all the kids go, "Teacher, I ate my cereal!"
