I did 5x10 of heavy deadlifts yesterday and now my back hurts. Now, I’m sitting in front of a computer doing work. It doesn’t matter where I am. I work from home sometimes, I go to the office sometimes. The lines are blurry. The days get blurry.
I’ve been trying to underscore text in a Microsoft Word document for the past 15 minutes. All I want is a little bit of text and then about ten presses of the spacebar with a line below. You see, clicking on the underscore feature only puts a line below the words. It doesn’t register the "empty" space from the spacebar presses. Have I described my problem well enough? I don’t know how to put it into words exactly. It’s an abstract concept and I don’t know how to "google it" either. No, I don’t want to use the tab key and then add a line to it. I want a few spaces within a block of text to be underscored. When I search the internet all I get is tutorials on how to turn the underline function on. I’m not stupid. I figured that out in my first week with Word.
As I give up on my document formatting dreams and accept that I have to draw a line using the disgraceful "Shapes" button, I’m accepting defeat. I’m angry. I have hatred in my gut. Why does this stupid program have to be so complicated? I just wanted to put a line in my text. I think this was possible on older versions of Word. Everything was better back then.
Microsoft Word. Day in and day out. The year is already over. I don’t like the "oh, how time has passed" memes. I have the Year Progress Bar account blocked on Twitter. I know life is short. I know time flies. I know you can not help but waste time. It goes by so fast, it’s hard to spend it meaningfully. Time is the most valuable resource you have. I think about these things when I waste my time trying to get Microsoft Word to underline a spacebar press. But I’m not really wasting my time with Word, am I? I’m at work anyway, who cares how I spend my time? My boss is usually happy and I get paid by the hour - not by the line.
Always try to find something positive about the things that happen to you.
Word has given me the opportunity to learn. I’m honing my craft. The Microsoft Office is my tool. Like a samurai facing a more skilled opponent. I have lost but I have learned. The Shapes Button. A new technique I have discovered - no, mastered. There are many different shapes you can add to your document but most of them will get you yelled at by your boss for being unprofessional. Like a samurai, I have to know balance when using my sword. Next time I want to underscore spaces I will not waste 15 minutes googling it. I will use what I have learned. I will draw a line in ten seconds and then, victorious, spend 14 minutes and 50 seconds resting.
I always enjoy and relate to these, I think the later is bad for me, but good post nonetheless
