Hobbies? I've been going through Outlook tutorials, since my last jobs didn't require it and I've never had reason to use it. The long-term temp assignment for which I'm interviewing tomorrow is going to entail a 1-1/2 hour test wherein I must prove my proficiency in MS Word (expert), Excel (OK), Powerpoint (I've edited the work of others, and made one on my own), and Outlook. When I attempted to set it up on my Mac, I got a message that my key, which I took directly from the disc envelope and input correctly, is invalid. I therefore went to Microsoft support, which would be a joke, except it's not funny. Sat for an hour watching Outlook tutorials on YouTube instead. Wish me luck.

Good luck. I've used Outlook for years and years, and to be fair, it's pretty intuitive most of the time. Crappy about address lists, though.

Anyhow, best wishes.

Fifteenish (mebbe more) years ago there was a tribute album to Reg and Bernie, and the Who covered "Saturday Night's Alright...". I read a comment about it from Townsend, who said something like "Well, yeah, we thought we'd get a little of our own back".

Oh, c'mon, Rebecca, you know the canonical answer to that one.

Good luck. You'll do fine.

I never had a MS product that the key suddenly became invalid just when I needed it for a reinstall etc. Like last weekend when I needed to reinstall win7. Gave up and now I'm happily using linux.

as a Hindu by birth and not practice (except when I tell my S.O. it's against my faith to pray for him to win the lottery,) I am guessing you probably used the word correctly and used it instead of the preferred terms "heathen" or "religion-with-100-blue-and-green-gods" (I learned that one courtesy of a Sikh classmate back in elementary school--can't we all just get along?)

I thought it was only me that wanted a prehensile tail when I heard Charlie's mom's character on "Two and a Half Men" also wanted a monkey butt transplant.

history might have turned out differently if he were surrounded by JA mon (and spleef.) (Isn't it pretty to think so?)

If you take the SNAP challenge and you don't die, you're probably not doing it right.
