Find The Boots

Rantings from a few corporate types about life, technology, travel, guns, politics, and everything good in the world.

Excellent Microsoft Sendup

Friday, June 22, 2007

It's a great sendup, but the thing that struck me was the strange way that you have to hold your hands *and* that it was slower than a mouse.

Now, I was a WordStar expert and remember thinking that a lot of stuff was gonna be slower with a mouse (and it still is) but that some things were gonna be a LOT better (and they were). This just looks stupid.

Find The Boots

An executive goes on a business trip. When he arrives, it's raining cats and dogs. To avoid ruining his shoes, he purchases a pair of galoshes for $15, which he expenses under "Misc." on his expense report. A week later, the accounting department rejects his expense report, with a post-it note that says that the company does not reimburse for items of clothing. The next trip, the executive turns in an expense report without the galoshes, but with a post-it note that says "FIND THE BOOTS!".
