Filling in

It seems that MS Word did not decide to save the four pages of my tech report last night, after all. So I'm starting over. I'm calmer now, and can probably stay sane as I work through it.

Benj, thank you for understanding and giving me space; you're free to come back to the room now.

Robin, thank you for being here for me to cry on, and in advance for staying up with me through this long night.

Steph, thank you for listening to me whine about my technical issues and at least trying to find a way around them.

After I reach four pages, Robin and I will be going to Denny's. If you might want to come along, leave a comment and then be on AIM. If I see a comment, and see that you're still up, I may invite you along.

So: Au travail.

Afterthought: Once this is done, I'm going to steal some Red Hat or other Linux CDs from someone, wipe my Windows recovery partition, and have 15 GB available for a stable OS. Either that, or just download and learn Open Office.

And I thought that the "Offer void outside Claremont" disclaimer only had to be appended to Schmack. :-)

*giggle*

Well, I'd still like to come along. Hopefully I'd be welcome. The "not local enough" oughtn't to enter into it...

You're certainly welcome, if you can find your own ride.

Mm, Denny's. I'm up for that.

I'd like to come. Ignore the Lunatic behind the curtain :D

Good luck. I am very sorry that Word sucks so much.

I don't think I'll be up for Denny's, but I offer you severe condolences on teh stupidity of your computer.
I remember a time last year when I veyr nearly took my softball bat to my computer because of word, and it hadn't even eaten anything.

Good luck, you can do this.
