cobwebby old computer
My dear workplace,
When my computer is using software that is ten years old - so old, in fact, that half the Word documents I open say "oh, we'll have to change half the document for you because your software's out of date", and half the internet now shrugs when it sees me coming and says "eh, nothing we can do"...
...and particularly when my JOB is supposed to be concerned with the very formatting of documents I can't see the formatting of...
...when, in fact, Space Invaders and Pacman would feel quite justified in jeering and calling my software "old timer"...
...why, dear workplace, when I politely request that you upgrade at least the Word part of my computer, do you stare at me blankly and respond "Huh? Why?"
*is frustrated*
