Am I a bad person?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Is it wrong to take so much pleasure from finding the errors in a PowerPoint presentation that was done at our Board Meeting earlier this week? It seems sort of mean, yet with every error I find, I laugh a little more…

Let this be a lesson to you, when you’re recycling an old presentaion make sure you update all the numbers and all the charts, not just some of them!

Then again, maybe the lesson here is the effectiveness of presentations in general. After all here was a presentation with a handful of factual errors, including a chart that contradicted the text on the previous slide, and no one even noticed.

    It never fails! Register at a job site, or try to get your resume out as much as possible and then just watch the number of “Work from Home” offers and “Great financial opportunity” spams come rolling in, including some that try to hide as legit responses to your resume.

    Blogger now has the option of publishing in Atom instead of RSS. But, they don’t give you the option to produce both an RSS and an ATOM feed, just one or the other. So, unless they do, or unless someone convinces me that ATOM is that much better than RSS, I won’t be having an…

    As a corporate customer of CDW they created a little extranet for me to use to keep track of quotes and purchases and all of that sort of stuff. One of the really neat things is that there’s a tab I can click to see if my account rep or any of the “specialists” assigned…
