Er, "girls"? LOLOL.
A long-ish time ago, now...let's see the early 90's to mid, maybe--I worked with this schmuck who was a total a**h*le. He would tell me that he didn't "do" spreadsheets or computers, because that was typing, which is "clerical work" for women. (Surprise, jackass! Guess who survived in business and who didn't? HA!)
Oh, I know you do!

Don't get me started. I must say something along those lines at least once a day on the KDP forums, etc. FRUSTRATING AS HELL. I mean, somebody gives you the keys ot the Word kingdom and you just blow 'em off? (Not "you," I mean, some hypothetical bozo I'm talking to on their forums.)
