Fired for Wording!

Sure, Microsoft Word is fine for kids who want to write papers for school, but serious professionals should be very worried about using this dangerous tool! Just a few weeks ago, I found out about this poor Des Moines woman fired for Wording at work!

Three hundred single-spaced pages of irresponsibility. Her name is Emmalee Bauer, so perhaps we should give her a verb -- be careful with your word processor, or you could get Emmaleed™.

In completely, totally unrelated news, there was a nice story about Vox in the New York Times.

Personally, I prefer NotePad.

How is this bad judgment? The woman intentionally used word to make it look like she was working, when infact she was avoiding work. That’s what she was writing, a diary describe how she was avoiding having to work at all by appearing busy with important Word documents. I would’ve fired her too.
