What I really wanted to say:

"If you find yourself with so little to do that you are tracking the difference in seconds between clicking the delete key and right clicking to delete an email, I'm sorry, you must not have enough to do, Ms. High Maintenance Manager!"

But, of course, I showed some restraint and said I'd check to see if there were any known issues on the Novell website.

Enter me, returning from lunch into the middle of an extended, frantic conference between two of the Office Players.

"Jesus! How do we get this to work?!" said Boss.

"I dunno. It's not an Excel spreadsheet, but it looks like one. How'd they do that, anyway?" said my cow-orker.

"I dunno. Did you look at the "Properties"?"

"Yeah, but it doesn't seem to really have any..."

"Hmm...".

*ponder-ponder-ponder*

"Is there something I can help y'all with?" I said.

"Well, maybe," said Boss. "How well do you know Word?"

*shrug* "Medium to advanced user. Whassup?"

"Well, we've got this document (*points at screen*) and it's got this weird spreadsheet in it. It's the new manual for our ISO 9002 certification and we can't figure out how to add a new column onto the end of it. We've been trying for about an hour now." said Boss.

"New column, or new row?"

"New row, I guess."

"Hmm."(*glance at Word Table*) "Here." *click-at-end-of-row* *CLACK* "There you go."

"HOW'D YOU DO THAT?!?!" said both.

"I hit "Enter"."

"...." said Boss.

"...." said Cow-Orker.

"You care if I go steal a non-schedualed smoke break?"

"...No. That's fine." said Boss.

Earlier this afternoon, I recieved a message from one of our teachers. "please can you see why the students can not open a file in the j drive which they should be able too" (There are times I wish we'd not taught them about net send)

We have literally thousands of files on the J:\ drive (which is a shared drive that all the staff can write to, and the students have read only access). I never did find out which one she meant.
