Stuck in PowerPoint Hell − 2 June, 2008
Who the fuck invented PowerPoint?! Whoever the asshole is needs to have his nose rubbed in it and a good whack with a rolled-up newspaper.
Today I have been stuck in PowerPoint hell. It's an all-day dry-run of the program's design review. How I got sucked into this crap is anyone's guess. This is all about the systems engineers, software engineers, developers, etc. Maybe they thought they were being magnanimous by giving me a slide to brief at such an important event.
Yeah, that's right: one slide. All the other briefers have at least 50 slides. Each. And my slide is the last fucking one to be reviewed.
I've got more important shit to do before I have to leave for training this week. Sitting in that meeting twiddling my thumbs was tantamount to timecard fraud.
Thank god for pagers that make their beeping noise when you surreptitiously turn them off then back on. Exit stage left.

I know exactly what you mean. PowerPoint is the most effective torture device since the invention of Vogon poetry. Just what the world needed: a way for boring people to enhance their tediousness with spinning text and sliding pictures. Thanks! Now even the fabled "TPS report" looks like MTV.
