I'm bidding farewell to the land of my youth
And the home I love so well
And the mountains so grand 'round my own native land
I'm bidding them all farewell
With an aching heart I'll bid them adieu
For tomorrow I'll sail far away
O'er the raging foam for to seek a home
On the shores of Amerikay

Even though you have to pay through the nose for it, Microsoft > Google in this regard.

There's no point in using Microsoft suites outside of work where the employer is footing the bill.

Excel is marketable, open office is the real MVP.

Libre Office is so like OpenOffice, I actually thought it was the same thing renamed.

Proper name is "Apache OpenOffice" for anyone interested.

TET goes through many phases

sometimes, we do have to give our yearly appraisals on the spreadsheet softwares... calculate the yearly output... and give our formal recommendations to the board

letters, forms, calls... they all have to be made

there's a lot of busywork this time of the year

A smart worker turns the GPS off so they don't know I spent an hour playing on my phone in a Subway car lot.

I haven't used Excel in so long I can't say if Libre Office is the same, or as good. It's good enough for me and is free.

I switched to Libre Office last year. I should have done it years ago.

You didn't mix up the canary, mustard and goldenrod pages on your request form, did you? If you do, the system can't process your request.

Still valiantly resisting the paperless office environment of the 21st century, I see. You still feed your computers punch cards?

If you mean to ask me for a straight answer, then I shall say that, as far as we can see, looking at it by and large, taking one thing with another in terms of the average of departments, then in the final analysis it is probably true to say, that at the end of the day, in general terms, you would probably find that, not to put too fine a point on it, there probably wasn't very much in it one way or the other. As far as one can see, at this stage.
