oh poor little unknowing girl…sitting in my office innocently waiting for office 2007 to complete it’s down load onto my laptop…a little giddy, a little anxious…watching the progress bar creep closer to resolution. aha! it’s done…wait, i have to reboot…finally, i can check this out…WTF! office 2007 is a horrible monster that must be tamed…

seriously, have any of you exprienced the dreaded office 2003 to 2007 shock syndrome? it is not pretty. i feel a little like when someone is trying to console you after a break up and they tell you that time will heal all wounds and you want to tell them what they can do with their time AND their wounds…same thing here. everyone says “oh, you’ll hate it for two weeks and then you’ll wonder what you ever did without it!” apparently i am in the first stage of my emotional adventure with office 2007 because i want to scream right now. i can’t find what to do where. and the whole two weeks thing…i’m pretty sure i need to accomplish a couple of things on my computer in the next two weeks. can’t we just jump to the part where i love it?

me: i’m lisa and i’m a computer idiot

group: hi lisa!

…next!
