Dumb as a box of laptops...

I've had a box of laptops that I shipped to myself from another of our offices when I was there on cleanup duty and just noticed now that it looks like someone was burgling it. One of the boxes for an access point I have to return had the lid ripped off, the laptops were leaning every which way, and the RAM I took back was all over the floor.

And no one seems to know how it happened.

In the words of Eric Cartman...

The fuck?

Microsoft Teams?

Today is the big day. I finally get to roll out Microsoft Teams across the board. I've only been suggesting this should happen for about a year or so and I finally got my wish (and honestly only because of the coronavirus). Speaking of which, why isn't Corona (the beer) on sale during this time? It should be like, half price! Anyway, so far, so good.

Typing shouldn't be an issue

Let me frame this first. You know the ellipsis that indicates that the other party is typing a message to you? I HATE THAT I get why people think it's useful, but what I wouldn't give to give whomever thought it would be a good thing a swift kick in the sack. It's particularly frustrating when you work in IT and type 100+ wpm and you get someone who also works in IT but they take so damn long to respond that it feels like they're using the hunt and peck method, with their tongue sticking out of their mouth at the side like they're trying to balance on a slack line. You know what I'm talking about. I, personally, will break a long message up into shorter parts and send them in quick succession rather than make you wait 5 minutes to type out a paragraph (also known as a book in these instances), because I'm trying to be considerate. Oh, and while we're on the subject of typing, know what I actually LIKE? Voice dictation. There is nothing more pleasing than...

Click to run? More like click to fuck off...

Ah Office 365. Double ah to Click to run (C2R) versions of Office. Apparently you can't install C2R if you have a non-standard office suite application (I'm looking at you Visit and Project) installed via MSI package already. You have to uninstall it first or the C2R installer fails without warning. Who does that? (And by that I mean leave no error message.) And on top of that, you need special licenses (aptly named C2R-P licenses) so that you can deploy the MSI versions alongside C2R installs. Anyone have a 5-pound sledge...? ~Me
