&@#*%#*!

Microsoft Exasperation (tm) of the moment: when, every time you save your Word document, the file size increases by another 300K or so.

Why does it do this? My Contracts outline, midway through expectation damages, is a scant twenty pages and has no excuse whatsoever for being 1.1 MB.

It is a gorgeous clear day out, with a fine fresh breeze wafting through my living room and over the couch where I am still sitting, still working. Apparently annoyed by this, Word seems to be slowing things down, fattening helpless files at random, and otherwise flirting with the idea of crashing my laptop outright -- something which would be kind of inappropriate at the moment.

Maybe it's just feeling as sulky, fed-up and petulant as I am right now.
