I have watched the John Barrowman Single Ladies video probably twenty times since Foxy linked me to it, and have yet to tire of it. Possibly because I love the original song and vid as well.

I spent most of the morning editing and typesetting the Big Book Of Awesome for work, including adding a lot of stuff that wasn't there before. The book's getting passed around to all the admins for advice, but I have stepped into the de-facto role of artistic director and veto'd some of their suggestions as impractical or redundant.

A few more admins have requested my Unofficial Directory, which is a revision I do every time that the "official" staff directory comes out, because our official directory is ugly and inefficient. I'm proud that my bootlegging is popular enough to be passed around secretly by the cabal of office ninjas who ultimately run this company. I welcome new initiates to The Secret Gnostic Directocrypha of Sam, Prophet of the Spreadsheet.

Cept nobody gets the spreadsheet version. They get PDFs. This kind of power is best handled by experienced masters only.

I applaud your pdf-ness. All the Secret Masters are doin' it.

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

Yus.

(And I am so glad that "print to PDF" from a given office-type application has been made so much easier these days. Fewer fiddling bits of paper, more searchable information!)

About that video. Uhm. I'm... sorry?

NO, I'M NOT. :D

I've had to re-edit an Excel file four times this morning. I feel your pain.

[huesiemama.livejournal.com]

I also feel the Excel pain too. Could not open some reports that are to use Excel. Meh.

I've showed the JB vid to anyone within sight of my laptop. I haven't seen it quite as many times as the last SPN vid someone linked, but I think I'll surpass that number this weekend...

You should be my boss's office ninja. She loves spreadsheets, and none of the people I work with have time to do them.

(One day, I'm going to learn to type. That day will be AMAZING.)

[bleakwinters.livejournal.com]

Which SPN video would this be? XD

[momebie.livejournal.com]

This Dean/Castiel vid to the tune of Pink's 'Touch My Whoa-oa-oa'. I don't even like pink, but the editing on this, and their stupid faces, just makes me laugh. Oh, stupid boys.

[bloodanna.livejournal.com]

*laughs like a loon* That is awesome!
Between this and the JB vid I may never have a bad day again. :D

[momebie.livejournal.com]

Haha, glad I could help!

[jonaht.livejournal.com]

This is great. Can't get enough of those SPN boys.

[momebie.livejournal.com]

I feel the same way, really. People should also watch this one a hundred times. BAMF the Musical, starring Castiel:

The drums was great. A man in a trenchcoat is so awesome especially when he's hot.

I hope it's not a PDF of the whole spreadsheet. Because a true Master of Amanuensis-jitsu can convert that right back to a spreadsheet...

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

I figure if they know enough to do that, they can be trusted with the Spreadsheet. :D

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

I know they make formatting miracles possible, but PDFs make me sad ... my browser at work is configured in such a way that I can't just view them online, I have to download them; I have limited allotted space for personal storage; and every official document I need to view for work is only available on the internal website as a ginormous PDF. Oh, and transit timetables.

When I started work a few months ago, I was asked how comfortable I was with computers. Being only passably competant, I panicked. Until I realised the teacher I'm assisting is amazed that I can, for example, make slide-shows which only go onto the next slide when you click the mouse. Today's triumph was typing a thank-you letter in five minutes. You, Sam, would probably be revered as a god in that school. Or burnt as a witch, it could go either way.

I once received a promotion (with salary increase) solely based on the fact that I alone knew how to add page numbers to Word documents.

*snerk*

That's a special kind of awesome, to be bootlegging directories. :-D

By the 53rd, this order has gained widespread acknowledgment as the basis for every successful business model since the 27th century. To be allowed to even have a passing acquaintance via rift spike is indeed an honor. I salute you, Sir!

Truer words, Sir, truer words.

I have watched the John Barrowman Single Ladies video probably twenty times since Foxy linked me to it, and have yet to tire of it. Possibly because I love the original song and vid as well.

Oh. My. God. Why has this video been lost to mankind. It's... unique. I sense a revival in the 53rd. Just let me get my friend Ianto to take a look at it. I'm sure he feel... something about it.

69-14!

It's such a pleasure to know that my hard work will pay off in posthumous fame. I don't suppose there's some pre-humous wealth headed my way?

No, don't tell me. Spoilers!

9, Harold. Just...9.

[wildestranger.livejournal.com]

Why is there no link to the John Barrowman vid? Clearly this is something I need in my life.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

It's a few entries down in my LJ :)

[queenfanfiction.livejournal.com]

I think in part thanks to us, that vid's had over 53K views already and counting...

Ha! You go, man. :D

[bluepard.livejournal.com]

I have been seeing that song/vid everywhere lately. Glee had the footballers doing it, there were zombies doing it this Halloween...

[brightly-woven.livejournal.com]

If you get Acrobat Pro, you can make secure pdfs.

The joy.

;)

That video is addicting. I kind of Rick Rolled my friend with that in the car tonight (gotta love having an iPhone!) I'm already plotting to annoy my friends with it during dinner tomorrow. :D
