A slave of Microsoft

So life was ok. I had a really cheap week. Then I started getting Word and Excel files I couldn't open because my versions were too old. So I downloaded the temporary version of Microsoft Office. It reminds my a lot of Vista. A lot of fru-fru. It seems as if it takes more keystrokes to do what you need to do. The temporary ran out, but I can't get to the old versions, so now I cannot do any work on Word of Excel. I decided to go and talk to a real person about my problem, so I chatted with a Staples employee while I was out there getting my free ream of paper that was available this week. Yep, he confirmed it. Microsoft has shut me down. They had what I needed for a mere $144! Awful!
