brinshannaraWays for a Computer Geek NOT to Impress the Girl they Like
#1 Offer to read over an assignment for her, use the snazzy "track changes" feature Word has (which is one of the only redeeming features it HAS), explain how to use the function in the email, comment on various parts of the assignment and send the email, forgetting to attach the file.
I woke up from a nightmare this morning to this:
I don't get what you mean about changing the filename and going to Track changes....Don't you have to send the file back to me? I opened the document that I sent to you and went to "track changes" in case you were able to do your computer magic and send the document back to my computer directly, and I didn't notice any changes to the document. I also looked to see if there was a file under a new name in "My Documents", but no. I'm confused...did you forget to send me the file? That would be completely understandable considering the hour you looked at it, but if not, I'm just not geeky enough to know what you mean :). So. If you would be so kind as to call me to clarify once you awaken from your beauty sleep? Thank you darling! (you know, in advance...oh! and thank you for looking at the document! very very much!)
Oof. There goes all my geek street cred in one fell swoop.
