Some tool moved the meeting time up an hour while I was in the air today. What fool thought that was a good plan? My boss is a 9:30 kind of person - I like that about her - so no way will she be there so early. Sadly, I'm not senior enough to arrive when I like.
On the one hand its the warmest we've had in weeks, on the other hand its so windy that my plastic door bar got forcibly bent by it.
On a 386.

Maybe.
FYI Word 6.0 for Mac was considered to be the worst version of Word ever. Word 5.1 required 1MB RAM and would run on an 8MHz CPU, but Word 6.0 was 4x larger, required 8x the RAM, and even when running on a processor twice as fast, could still take more than 10x longer to do some tasks. Sloppy.

Meh roff is a po man's TeX (I kid). I know it because I have to write man pages but I'd never want to use it for a serious document.
Seriously though, I'm a physicist. Not using LaTeX or at least TeX is murder. It's so easy to write an equation in more or less plain English, especially when your paper has 50 of them. That and self numbering references and BiBTeX for easy to style references make it a dream. Microsoft equation editor sucks.

I agree completely. Compared to every other word processor, LaTeX produces the best google image search results by far.
I tune out Upworthy and the other clickbait sites (Diply, Tickld, etc). Their stories can easily be divided into three categories. You won't believe what they really are!
1. Abandoned pet is rehabilitated and adopted.
2. Autistic child has a meltdown in a public setting. Random bystander calms them down.
3. Somebody says something mean to someone else on the Internet. Random Facebook/Twitter commenter says something mean back.
But aren't you the Poet Laureate? The Translator Extraordinaire?
Yes. Which is why my job is to edit other people's translations and bring them up to my level. Or, failing that, at least up to a level where we won't get angry clients on the phone.
EDIT: For example, right now I'm dealing with a translator who doesn't know the difference between "audio" and "visual". YOU ARE TRANSLATING A PRESS RELEASE ABOUT COMPUTER MONITORS, STOP TALKING ABOUT THE AUDIO RESOLUTION!!

Canvas is far superior.
And impostor syndrome rears its ugly head once again.
I think that he means that he feels the others (he mentioned editing translations) need to go back to what they were doing before, not Bhamv himself.
Were it not so, puns and double entendre would be severely hampered.
And that is a consequence up with which I will not put.
My mistake; I thought you were using "you" to refer to yourself.
Of course, it doesn't take much to confuse me so...
I thought the same thing.
You thought that Bhamv3 was referring to himself or that it doesn't take much to confuse me?
