Microsoft thinks it's better than me.
"Looks like you're writing a letter. Can I help?"
Looks like you're a freaking animated paperclip. No, I can do without your assistance.
"Looks like you're creating a list. Would you like some help?"
Go away and die. I can write things down one at a time.
Then there's Google. Assuming I don't what I am searching for, and so haughty about spelling.
"Did you mean 'The Namibian meat festival'?
No, I wanted to google "the bernouli principle." Maybe the spelling was a little off. Bite me google.
Granted, some of it is human error. I got an e-mail today from Brandy. It was entitled "Need Your Help!" She wrote:
Russ,
Heartfelt wishes to you! I need a favor while I am out-of-town. Rob and I leave for Miami on 12.15 and will return on 12.21. Peg and Cactus will be out-of-town 12.14-12.18. Would you be able to check-in on my cat, Mo-Mo, the days of 12.15-12.18?
Let me know if you are available?
Shine on,
B
I have no idea who this person is. I speculate that she sent me an e-mail in the course of, say, her lifetime. And perhaps her e-mail program was trying to help when it filled in my e-mail address when she was trying to reach a different Russ.
Great help, Microsoft. Now her cat is going to die.

I think Jill was right. You are exhibiting an unusual amount of holiday hostility
