Using PC's all day affects judgement.

I just done a particularly stupid thing...

Got handed a manual for a till (on paper! No .pdf!) and was told to find out how to print off a Z report and reset the till at the end of each day. So naturally, I reach for my keyboard and hit CTRL + F and type in "z Report" while the boss looks over my shoulder with a concerned look on her face....

It took me about 10 seconds to realise my mistake.

Anyway, anyone else done anything similar?

hahahahaha!! i do wish real life had Ctrl-F, and Ctrl-C, V and Z

No, never. You're stupid!

In fact I'm sure I will have done something similar I just can't remember anything specifically.

Oh aye, I get that too. I now have the handwriting skills of an eight year old. I've even reverted back to unjoined lettering....you know...so its more like Arial...

And sir, i have a quote for you "Verdana is the best web font ever, it looks great small but when it's bigger it gets really ugly, like a woman"

haha! oh and for me, well i only joke about the fact that the school's science block looks rubbish with no AA, and when you see a car in a ditch "they should have ctrl, alt, deleted"

You should have scanned it in using OCR software then hit Ctrl+F

My handwriting was awesome when I left primary school, now it looks like I write everything using my feet.

That is unacceptable, I would have punched you in the kidneys.

Murf · 5 Apr 2006 at 14:38

I get the urge to substitute laughter with lol but I resist the temptation. It would just be too weird.

oxygene · 5 Apr 2006 at 14:43

I have to say I find myself less laughing at stuff thats funny and more thinking LoL

No...whats Torex? Firefox just happened to be open on my desktop at the time, thus the search box came up.

I made some notes yesterday and was copying them up - I was bewildered why I was doing by hand with a laptop in front of me, it really hurt my hand too!

Nearly said ROFLcopters at a joke once. Help me.
