[Closed] What's annoying you currently? II

I didn't really know where to put this, but I testified as witness in court today (regarding the case of our unforunate apartment complex). It wasn't exactly Hollywood melodrama, although I often got an urge to exclaim "You can't HANDLE the truth!" to the prosecutors.

I guess why it's annoying me a little bit, is that I don't know how well I did and what the defense thought. I peaked over to him while I was answering questions from the opponents' lawyers, but I didn't get any reaction and I had to leave immediately after I was finished. Let's just hope my testimony didn't make matters worse!

My first thought was the John Adams speech music from AMISTAD, but since that was somewhat overblown, let's try something more subtle - like Jesus' speech in THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD.

I've reminded myself of a place I used to work ( my very first job in fact ) where my best work buddy and I gave themes to every character that worked there. We started with Peter and The Wolf, I had Peter's theme, my friend, who was a bit of a ladies man had the wolf theme, the skittish secretary had the ducks theme, the plodding foreman had the Grandfather theme etc, once we'd used it up other music became viable so the flashy company rep had the James Bond theme and our boss who we considered a buffoon had the Laurel & Hardy theme...all done behing their backs of course I can't remember what music we used for head office but if it had been written then I'm sure it would have been the Imperial March from Empire.

Peter's theme ( it's written up there too )

What happened? IF you can talk about it.

I'm working on this new smaller notepad and I really don't like it probably because I'm not use to it.

I wouldn't have bought it. The reality is the City Schools of San Diego did for my friend Maureen. A teaching aid. Free is a good thing.

What's annoying me currently are programs that change what one writes automatically. Argh!

For instance Open office Calc (Same as Excel). When I write "1.8", then as soon as I click Enter, it changes what I wrote to "01-08-09"! It just drives me nuts that the people who made this program at some point thought to themselves "Hey, I don't think people should be allowed to write whatever they want. I think we should make the program change what people write, because we can't trust people to write what's best for their own good".

The same with Open Office Writer (Same as Word). If I write "1)" and clicks Enter. Then it moves the symbols to the right and automatically write "2)" on the next line! Or rather, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Depends on what mood it's in I guess. It also automatically changes a small letter to a big letter if it follows a period, which is incredibly frustrating when one needs a small letter there.

I'm sure there is some way to turn these things off (and please tell me how), but it still annoys me so much that it's apparently the default setting for these programs to sabotage the stuff one writes.

It took me a long time to get the monitor and printer to agree on my newer Canon printer.

Sorry to hear that. I thought I was in for a bout of that last week after I inexplicably couldn't keep any food down one night, but next day I was fine.

I honestly don't know but compared to the early hours of this morning I feel a lot better now, still not great but a lot better. I've had serious food poisoning once and it was loads of times worse than what I've just suffered and flattened me for over a week.

Thanks Ravi

I'll be very well soon, it's very minor compared to what some others have had to go through here on our board.

Tim I hope you are feeling better already! Get well soon and let us know how you are doing.

I've had similiar symptoms off and on for the past three weeks
