leafing through

I haven’t had coffee for almost two weeks now.  Vacation helped break the cycle and I’m trying not to get back in it.  It’s too hot outside to be drinking hot beverages anyway.  And yet… I catch myself nodding off at my desk.

Beside the point: I think my boss is a really nice, amiable guy.  But.  He’s a bit of a bungling idiot.  And I mean that in a nice way if there ever was a nice way to call someone a buffoon.  I sat in his office yesterday where he had no fewer than 30 emails opened.  He was looking for a specific one he’d sent me a few days ago.  Granted half this job is about archiving paper and emails and documents so the task can be somewhat daunting but I tried hinting that wow he had a lot of windows open.  And one of the emails had an attachment and he had 5 Excel files open looking for the attachment even though it was a Word file.  And then in an Excel file, he didn’t know how to unhide a column.  Again, not an expert on all things Microsoft here, but shouldn’t the basics of an operating system be sort of a given in working in the 21st century these days?  I must’ve forgotten to check my common sense at the door yesterday.  Nice as he is, much as I like him, I wanted to snatch the mouse right out of his hand.
