Arrrrrrrrgh! Freakin' Microsoft Word!!

As you know, I work for a m.a.j.o.r. c.o.r.p.o.r.a.t.i.o.n.


You know, the kind that has an IT department?  That reaches from Houston, to India, and back?


So when I asked to switch from Microsoft Word 2007 to Microsoft Word 2003, and IT enabled the switch while watching my computer via sharing, that one action wiped out almost 6,000 contacts in Microsoft Outlook?


Oh, yes, it did.


And they have to have a password cracker to reinstall the contacts.  The ones from August 2010.  Not June the 30, 2011 most recent version that I was utilizing, oh, just an hour or so ago.


I'm so frustrated.  Now, I have all my contacts on MobileMe, since at home, I'm a Mac chick. I could seriously, easily, sync my contacts to Outlook from my Mac via MobileMe.  But can I upload iTunes to my work computer?  Or Mobile Me?  For a simple contacts transfer?


Noooooooooooooooo.  Absolutely not.  Against the rules.  God forbid if I listen to a song during my work day via iTunes.


I think I'll take up alcohol.  Today.  At 6:00 a.m.


It would be better than this s***.


Thanks for listening.  And if you were on my distribution list yesterday, and you're not today, drop me an email.  I'll add you.  Again.


Much love from my crazy end of the oilpatch,
