M$ Excel does NOT autofit row height on merged cells. Which, given that the reason you have merged them is probably to put text in there, is quite frankly stupid.

If thingsgo to plan, I'll soon be waving goodbye to whindoze X because the only machine I use with an OS from Seattle is my work Laptop. I'm not about to spend any money on a machine just to run Bill's latest OS on, well not unless I find work that requires me to do so of course.

Why do people in an air conditioned office feel the need to turn the whole thing off, without asking, because they're too cold sitting there in a T-shirt and shorts. :hand:  So as a result  everyone gets to feel more and more hot and stuffy, until it the air con goes back on again.   For goodness sake, just put a light fleece on or summat will yer...  :thumbsup: :-\

Get! Out!

Turns out it was approved with nary a hitch, but they just didn't bother to tell me or anything.  No doubt someone close to the Awful Office heard that sending a confirmation was Obama's idea.

Not only is my return flight delayed by slightly less than three hours*, but I am going to be forced to take the bus to the aircraft instead of walking on. Just won't do.

This ^^^^.  The day after I lead the Panzers down Whitehall there will be a special Reëducation Camp for:

  • the semi-evolved proto-humans who think it's "cute" :sick:

The last toilet-roll of our current pack was slightly squashed so that the centre is now elliptical, and it goes bump-bump-bump on the holder rather than unreeling in an orderly manner. Annoying.  Between this and Jair Bolsonaro, I don't know what the world is coming to.
