Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Are you sure you don't have a ghost file open? Did you go to task manager and look at "processes" instead of just "applications"?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Aha!

I don't have any Excel processes running at the moment, but since the file is on a shared drive, *somebody* must. I will find out who it is and make them shut it down.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I really should have bought a new home laptop a long time ago. But then, it would already be outdated, huh?

Guess I am really enjoying this shiny new one, with its Window 7. I bought Outlook 2007 at Costco and love how Plaxo syncs it up for me. I tried to do without it, since it didn't come with MS Home Premium or whatever it is I bought, but I really need to be able to see my full calendar.

Now I really want my workplace to upgrade to Win 7 and Outlook 2007. It isn't going to happen anytime soon.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I was wondering how that was a tech thing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
