Personality By Filetype

I had to reboot my PC at work today which is unusual - normally I just lock my PC when I go home and continue where I left off in the morning. It occurred to me that I had a lot of Microsoft Word documents open, and each and every one was a work in progress.

I think it was right then that I realised that my job had changed significantly. I’m still involved in tech. support, but moreso now - especially since I have an off-sider to do my bidding - I’m concentrating on policy, documentation and management issues.

Crazy!

12 months ago I would have had multiple copies of Firefox/IE and PuTTY open as I was debugging a website and configuring Linux, 6 months ago it would have been multiple copies of Notepad with random pastings in them and now it’s a shift to Word.

Again, crazy!

I wonder how this will develop…

Policy and management? Has DC retired in his old age? :-)

Aside from the ‘open’ part, why exactly is OO better than Office? I’ve used both and Office is still better..
