Where the fuck is that meteor?

I am transcribing a motor vehicle homicide by negligent operation trial, and the fucking assistant district attorney says to the judge "looking at the forest from the trees."

This fucking guy graduated from high school, from college, from law school, and passed the bar. English is his first and only language. And he says "looking at the forest from the trees."

It's funny when a new project manager comes on board, and wants to tell us to use ‘Agile’, like it's a new concept. And then arguing about the specifics for estimating tasks. Completely missing the fact that what you estimate for a task is not realistic to actual dev time. And then imposing that no task should be longer than 8 'points’/hours. You end up spending more time 'planning/estimating' than actually working. #killMeNow

Someone here recently asked why we **still** use Word as the default writing software for *anything*. I have just spent at least 30 minutes trying to remove endnote separator lines from the - yeah - endnotes! And the refs list that has to go after them that picks up separator continuation lines. Bc the journal submission rules will not want tons of lines everywhere. Also seems to break figure captions indexing. Grrrr.
