Should have paid attention in Algebra

November 18, 2002 - 7:53pm

I'm SOOOO fed up with this customer. He wants me to hold his hand while he does his work. I refuse to do math for him. I'm having to help him write formulas which involve BASIC algebra. You know, order of operations stuff...we're telling the software whether to divide or multiply first with parenthesis. All I know is he should have paid attention in high school because I lose my patience after I go over it 3 times!

Jumping?
It sounds like someone is jumping on the roof in our building. It's very rythmic and annoying. I wish they'd stop!! Boy, I'm grouchy today.

I'm about as competent with math as a lemur with a head injury, so it was with great gnashing of teeth that I re-learned Excel last week. And this order of operations stuff was killing me. Arithmetic sucks. Bring on theoretical physics! And I never took Algebra 2, and flunked the second semester of geometry. Math impaired, I am.

Well, Billy, as long as you don't call me on Monday morning asking for help with order of operations then doing a horrible job of following directions, I still love you!

The following directions part I can handle - it's the math that sucks. So...um...what's the 800 number?
