Ugh...Monday. At least by having my iPod on today I managed to make most people leave me the hell alone.
"How do I rename this file? It just keeps making copies."
Solution: User attempted to rename file using "Save As". Explained to user that "Save As" creates new file with whatever neame user's stupid little heart desires-- demonstrate by saving open Excel spreadsheet as "ILoveGoats.xls". User complained that old file was still on hard drive. Showed user that universe did not collapse if he deleted old file; further suggested more efficient way of renaming file (using Windows Explorer). Tutorial brought to grinding halt when user asked where menu appeared from. Was confused until I realized they meant the context menu opened by right clicking. Told user menu was willed into existence, suggested they stick to menu on top of window until they got used to thier computer's psychic vibrations.
