I would like to apologize to polo shirts for not appreciating them sooner
Do they look good? Not usually. Do they feel good? Occasionally. Do they communicate “chill out bro I only just work here?” Absolutely. And sometimes that’s what an employer needs to hear
Iām not even going to button the top button. Physically I may be in this cubicle but mentally I am enjoying a tropical drink on the beach. I am responding to your unnecessary email with nothing but cool ocean breeze. If you have any problems you can swing by my desk with another tropical drink and maybe I will consider doing analysis on that spreadsheet you sent to me in jpeg format. Maybe.
Who the fuck jpegs a spreadsheet
Would you believe me if I said “people employed by the federal government”
Unfortunately
HOW the fuck do you jpeg a spreadsheet?
š
oh honey..
you would not believe how many times i got those from middle-aged sales people…
I once needed a customer to fill out some information in an excel file and his plan, which I just barely called him in time to stop him from executing, was to
- print out the blank excel template on paper
- hand-write some 100 rows or so of information, with a pencil (he said he did not have a pen)
- fax it back to me
in the end i had to make him read his info aloud so i could enter it for him
I had a client whose process for providing user interface feedback was as follows:
1. Bring the relevant screen up on their desktop computer.
2. Take a photo of their desktop computer’s monitor with their cell phone camera.
3. Transfer the cell phone photo back to their desktop computer, and paste it into a Microsoft Word document.
4. Export the Word document to a PDF.*
5. Print the PDF out on paper.
6. Mark up the printout in pen with their comments.
7. Feed the printout through a document scanner, set to output the result as a PDF.
8. Email me that PDF.
* Yes, they specifically exported the Word document to PDF before printing rather than printing the Word document directly. No, I did not ask why.

![[ Cueball and a White Hat are walking, Cueball holds both hands in front of him palms up.] Cueball: The great thing about digital data is that it never degrades. [They walk on in the next panel which shows jpeg compression artifacts, as if the image had been converted from png format to a lossy jpeg format.] Cueball: Hard drives fail, of course, but their bits can be copied forever without loss. [They continue walking in the third panel which is now clearly pixelated, the white is slightly discolored, and it contains part of the interface of some program, probably supposed to be a screen shot from a smartphone. At the bottom there are three blue buttons and one gray. the first is a blue "" that is not active. And then three more standard buttons in blue to the right of those two. The interface matches that of an iPhone running Safari in iOS 9 (or other versions with the same Safari UI (probably iOS 7-9))] Cueball: Film degrades, paint cracks, but a copy of a century-old data file is identical to the original. [Still walking, now Cueball holds out both arms to the sides, and finally White Hat replies. This panel is heavily pixelated and discolored and has a distorted aspect ratio. It contains a clear watermark of 9GAG (although difficult to read all letters in the end of the first word), even more 'frame' elements, and text above the image at the bottom (where the last letter is obscured by the frame of the image). There is also an internet address at the bottom left, but it is not readable except for the .tumblr.com ending. In this panel it is clear that it is a screen shot from a smart phone. The frame around the image obscure the very top of Cueball's text and the half of the last letter in White Hat's reply.] Cueball: If humanity has a permanent record, we are the first generation in it. White Hat: Amazing Watermark: Screenshotpro 2 Watermark: ~Unregistered~ Top border: Verizon LTE 4:45 PM Bottom text [slightly cut off]: 9GAG Internet address at the bottom [nearly unintelligible]: [ama].tumblr.com](https://64.media.tumblr.com/9458179c35f1ac691604195ef4a00e93/c47b00b56b8c7943-1e/s1280x1920/9b394bb0a9622af9e03c09b977ac97f9a198fd86.png)
