I sometimes want to throw my computer through the window. Today word has been entirely reformatting my documents of its own volition, just to put me in a bad mood.

Being slow.

Office suddenly running out so you have to renew there and then or lose all your accounts for the year! Then bloody excel not having an option to add multiple rows!

Also, I have massive mistrust of autosave...

Yes. Recent experience.

Mine keeps switching my VPN access to the Frankfurt office for some reason, so if I go on a website it gives me prices in € instead of £...really annoying when I'm trying to do quotes and have to keep manually moving it back to the UK office

Today I copied one paragraph from one document to another. On pressing paste, the document was reformatted. On pressing undo, it deleted it but didn't change the formatting back!

What does a computer and your wife or girlfriend have in common?

You only appreciate them when they go down on you!

I want to launch my laptop through the window because the timetable software I'm using won't do what I want it to do. Stupid fucking timetables

Calendars and the lack of communication between teams and outlook is fun too!
