Fuck it. I'm too tired to go jogging. I was walking all over Dublin today (funnily enough, looking for jogging gear). I'll do some yoga later on though
Amusingly at my first year at college it was declared, during a presentation, that Comic Sans had been found the best font to use by some study somewhere. Needless to say I never use it, but quite a few college presentations and assessments are printed in it now.
Dude... you don't see the joke? As in "If you force me to use PowerPoint, the result will always be like this!"Seriously people, bright pink, purple, red and blue Comic Sans over full-screen black and white photographs in a power point? It's bad enough I have to sit through a series of powerpoints, don't make my occipital lobe explode out the back of my head as a way to end the suffering.
Call me lucky, but I usually have at most a screw or a wood plug left over - and that's after counting the items I've got, not after assembly.I just put together a babyprisonbed from ikea, there were no extra parts, everything fitted together and nothing was missing
And they haven't been forcibly overthrown by the graphic design students yet, because...

Hehe yeah, I think it's more a joke now than actually the truth.
I got up this morning at 6:45am fully thinking it was Monday already and I had to go to class, until I decided to put the TV on and was informed otherwise. Nobody in my household came up to see why on Earth I was clattering around in the kitchen so early. Haha....WTF?
Useless instructions are useless!

My bf had thrown out the instructions with the box and I managed just fine, instructions are for wimps
Can't say I've ever had that problem with Ikea stuff either, and most of the time I really have no idea what I'm doing. Useless instructions are useless!

I use Google Docs, but the idea is the same.
I also hate powerpoint-type presentations and I will avoid using that format unless I'm required to - like today.
The most evil abuse of PowerPoint I ever witnessed was a professor holding lectures on the CNS. I should add that we were allowed and encouraged to download pdf copies of the slides to help us with our studies. Anyway, his lectures were death by PowerPoint of the most cruel kind, i.e. various entire sentences on each slide (and no time spent on layout either), which he would then simply read out loud. The trick was that every now and then while he was reading, he would add half a sentence that wasn't in the slide - guess what he asked in the exam.If I do slides, I aim for around a sentence and a graphic - e.g they're supposed to be listening to me not reading the thing

Umm... I hope that's not truly the norm where you are. Otherwise, I feel for you.That's pretty much how uni lecturers roll
