Tackling Tempers on the Tuesday NO PO Open Thread
I haven't got much of a temper, and even on the rare occasions I do it takes a while to build up and then always feel guilty and usually apologize soon after. Which makes it harder for me to understand when people direct their temper at me, and mostly don't apologize. And most of the time I don't even understand what I said or did that ticked them off, as I go out of my way to try and not do that. Do you have a temper? How do you handle it, and how do you handle temper directed at you?

I learned a long time ago. I can’t drink beer and get upset. I chase people with blunt objects.
Other than that I’m pretty peaceful.

Me too. Then I'd spend the next hour running in circles being repelled from every direction.

A little anger management wouldn't hurt me at all. I tend to get angry at inanimate objects when they don't work as intended or fail when I'm using them. If they had ears, they would burn.

I have just spent the last three hours trying to fix my neighbor's class assignment. It's a Word document, that you're supposed to be able to just cut and paste all their data into. HA! Some asshole decided to build the whole thing using tables within tables within tables, and tried to make the whole thing work by anchoring some of them. By the time you get to the fourth iteration it starts disappearing under the fifth. I've been banging my head against the wall all evening, and my computer and neighbor are learning new vocabulary. My neighbor was utterly baffled because every time she tried adding text, other text would disappear.
Finally I said "fuck it" and rebuilt the whole document as a single table. It flows perfectly now, and you can cut and paste into it all you like and it maintains its integrity. Better yet, it looks exactly like the original document, except I added some hard page breaks to keep the sections together. Something the previous document was incapable of doing. I don't know what the bastard who made it did, but it would not accept a page break to save its life. I have my suspicions that someone built it in Excel and then exported it to Word. Is that something you can do? I've known dipshits who did page layout in Excel because "I can put things exactly where I want them."
Personally I'd have made a custom .pdf with fields to fill out, but nobody asked me.
