odd things at work....

I just replied to a piece of email. Why did the spell check complain about "Cathi", but not "Kwiatkowski"?
It's not because employee names are automatically added from the directory to the dictionary. (She's "Catherine" in the directory.) There's plenty of other employee names that the spell-check complains about.... (It sounds like an Aboriginal-Canadian/Polish name....)
Thanks,

[Agency] Celebrates Telework Week: March 23-27
Tip: Pump Up Your Concentration with a Break
Teleworking from a home office, you may find that you are not moving around as much as you would in a large office building. But it is important for physical health and mental concentration to take regular breaks - even if just for a quick stretch.
Why would anyone assume people in a "large office building" move around a lot? I come in, go to my office (in the basement), and I'm pretty much at my desk until I leave. I may take a toilet break. If I biked, I will probably go to the locker room to change (and change again when I leave). On rare occasion there's a meeting or presentation somewhere else in the building. (Most meetings happen on the phone, so I'm at my desk.)
I probably move around more when I telework.

Within the past hour, I have heard on the radio "Everyone has a cell phone" and "Everyone is drinking coffee".

I don't have a cell phone.
I have never had a cup of coffee.

I suppose most companies don't end their fiscal year so close to Telework Week. We've got so many people squeezing in use-or-lose vacation days that we've got a lot of "tele" without any "work".A daily digest of agencywide news and information.
