Helping a Coworker

From: Z
Subject: Peer support paranoia: FM hates me.

OK, hands up - who knows why *suddenly* my headers on random pages have GONE ON HOLIDAY. I’m talking FM. I’m talking new template. I’m talking have tried re-importing template. I’m talking PLEASE help me. I passed the end of my tether. My tether is a DOT to me.

Sorry, I don't know why. Has anyone replied?

No! I so feel like crying.

Maybe you should contact Tech Support?

Problem solved by the old cut and paste into clean document workaround. I then had to repeat the procedure on three other infected chapters. And now my chapter files are coming out A4 when the rest are custom. Vent vent vent.

How can I cheer you up?


  • You are not a resident of Dafur.
  • The cable selection is so bad it can only get better .
  • You can get up and go get coffee whenever you want to while policemen and skyscraper window cleaners cannot always do that.
  • You don't have to cut up dead bodies to make a living.

Its ok. There is more:

  • I don't have to run around flea infested and fight for food like street cats.
  • I didn’t have to guess the obscure name of a silly little man who spun straw into gold for me in return for my firstborn in order that I get to marry the king.
  • I am not Britney Spears.

  • Your husband is not the costar of Angelina Jolie.
  • No one has tied you to your chair and forced you to watch America's Next Top Model.
  • You are not married to Amedinejad.

From: Z

  • Somebody somewhere has to do far more for their husband than I do.
  • In Jamaica, your afro is a fire hazard when lighting your ganja

  • I have never been bitten by a crocodile.

This reminds me of the scene in 8 Miles with Eminem where they rap-joust.
I concede, yours are better than mine.
