I’m reminded of a co-worker from our Boston office (I’m in NH) calling me, asking if there was a way to retrieve a document after a computer broke down. I told him of course there was, if he saved it. It was a 10-page document…and he didn’t save a single page. (This was also before the “cloud”.)

Paige is hoping her teacher “likes” her excuse.

Back up, Paige. I mean like back up the file.

I got on an arc trainer at the gym next to two twentyish girls who were deep in conversation. To pass time, I decided to count the times they said ‘like’. I quit after five minutes and 78 ‘likes’. I couldn’t keep up!

“That’s like . . . a bummer”? Wow, great punch line.

By now, everything has devoured papers at one time or another

It’s got to really suck when even your excuse is found to be plagiarized.

that actually was a fairly common problem computers had in the early 2000’s
