outlook's search function is so awful that it manages to be entirely unhelpful at finding anything because it tries too hard to find you everything
it's like if you had an intern whom you asked for a cup of coffee and he took way too long to get it and eventually you had a meeting to go to so you got frustrated and you left
and while you're at your meeting, instead of bringing you coffee, he started bringing in everything that has a letter c - business cards, bic pens, car keys, canned goods, thumb tacks, paper clips, etc - stacked floor to ceiling in your office so that you could not even get in the door when you got back from your meeting
and when you turned to your intern and said "i wanted fucking coffee you idiot" he'll say "oh right it's on your chair, sorry"
right on your chair behind the mountains of other shit you do not need, thanks
oh and by the way you cannot fire him because he is the boss' kid
So, I am almost done with the Norwegian lessons from Pimsleur, and they couldn't let me escape without putting another WTF roleplay situation on my lap.
Man (M) talking to Woman (W):
M: Hei! Hvordan had du det?
W: Ganske bra, takk. Og du?
M: Ikke so verst. Jeg vil gjerne reise til Bergen i morn.
W: Jeg vil gjerne reise også
M: Er du alene? Vil du reise sammen?
W: Nei, jer er her med mannen min. Vi skal reise til Bergen sammen. Vi har noen venner der.
M: Jeg er alene jeg!
W: Hvorfor er du alene?
M: Fordi jeg vil gjerne reise bort med deg.
W: Kanskje vi kan reise sammen.
M: Med deg og med mannen din?
W: Ja. Vi kan reise til Bergen sammen hvis du vil.
M: Nei takk. Jeg tror ikke det.

I could not get though this conversation without thinking of this dude as some creeper fedora wearing home wrecking shithead.
I mean, I am obviously learning the language, but these lessons.... fuck. Looking forward to different material.

I had my laptop replaced recently. But now there is a new one. Its lighter and thinner and other people have it and I won't get an upgrade for 100 years! And I don't have an iphone 6! How am I even alive?
Sometimes laptops have accidents.
My last laptop had some unfortunate run ins with my fists. I'm not joking. The case was broken in so many places. The screen would pop out sometimes too.

today a couple of my younger coworkers convinced me to make a 'snapchat' i believe it's called... *adjusts monocle*
no, i NEED internet friends, I mean. Like, I like the people in [chat] so I need to talk to them more outside of [chat]. I talk to some sporadically. I need to begin investing in you guys so I can then trick you into turning tricks so I can make a profit.
I mean, if I made real life friends, I have to spend time knowing if they're geeky and if they're geeky are they still socially capable or am I gonna deal with a person who gets excited over cat ears because "they're teh co00less$t~~~*~*~*~*~* bakaaaa~"

Sent the god damned file. For some reason outlook was refusing to connect over my stupid VPN with the iPhone as mode. Damn you, M$ (this is a non-awesome use of the dollar sign)! Damn you to hell.
and if they're a minority, are they like..on the same wavelength as me or are they're gonna call me an uncle tom or a five percenter (nevermind the fact i'm half puerto rican)

The best part about Outlook is the way things that look like small buttons change the entire mode of the application. The second best is the way the ribbon organized 400 different functions in no particular order, many of which are context sensitive with no way to know what action will bring them up. The ribbon is a crime against user interface design. Imagine if Microsoft designed libraries.
"This library is so inefficient. All the books no one reads are mixed with the popular books! We need to fix this problem!"
"What if we left the rest of the library like it is, but took extra copies of the popular books and but them together on their own shelf?"
"Hmm, that's a good idea but what about this. We remove all the books from the library, burn down the building, place the popular books on top of the ashes, then bury the rest randomly throughout. We'll make the popular ones easier to find and it'll be like a treasure hunt!"
Donkey Kong on

Just meet people and hang out and drink with them. Maybe sex them (this is optional). They don't need to be your soul mates. Just people to hang with.

I have thousands of e-mails and zero trouble searching in Outlook.
I have 1200 or so emails and I have been here one month, and I delete with a vengeance.
Search is annoying but not so bad right now due to the fact that I have most of the important things lodged in my brain by keyword. After a year, it will be practically impossible to find these things again.
One of the great things about Google Enterprise is that gmail uses google's search algorithm on your inbox.

The excel ribbon works well somehow too. How can the outlook and excel ribbons be from the same company?
The excel ribbon kind of works ok until you need to use excel's more complex development-type features. It actually has an entirely different menu-driven interface that pops up over the normal app when you start adding macros to spreadsheets and such.

they aren't exactly SFW language. the eminem one especially, since he uh... was still in his really immature phase

I was afraid I would literally die.

what is a five percenter
When isn't he?
More [chats] with money?
Yeah, I have about 17k and the entire app grinds to a halt if I accidentally type something into the search box.
I have 1200 or so emails and I have been here one month, and I delete with a vengeance.

there is a pretty massive difference in the message he was spitting 15 years ago vs now
2010 is way better than 2007. Still garbage.

Literally.
"If Outlook refuses to send your file due to security exceptions, change the extension to .ok"
That was a loooooooooong wut moment.
He used to mostly talk about croissants. Now he mostly raps about baguettes. It's like two different people.
The solution to most email problems is to run a repair, which takes 5 hours and does not work. So you have to rebuild the ost, which takes all night.
The google solution to most email problems is not to ever have any email problems, ever. That seems to work really really well!
The excel ribbon kind of works ok until you need to use excel's more complex development-type features. It actually has an entirely different menu-driven interface that pops up over the normal app when you start adding macros to spreadsheets and such.
i will quit drinking for a while
revitalize the system and what not.
