| erdos: | This is the last slide. |
| client: | It can't be. We must have forgotten to delete something? |
| erdos: | The last item will remain last regardless of what you delete in the middle. |
| client: | No. We must have forgotten to delete something. |
| erdos: | How does deleting something stop this slide from being the last one? |
| client: | Let's just review and see where the mistake is. |
This discussion occurred while creating a 136 slide Powerpoint presentation for a 90 minute talk.

I do so many freaking PowerPoint presentations that I've named myself his PowerPoint Presentation Bitch. I think it's a catchy title. I hate building worthless presentations.

PowerPoint is stupid. Unless you're my 7 year old. He finds them riveting. Enough said.I do so many freaking PowerPoint presentations that I've named myself his PowerPoint Presentation Bitch. I think it's a catchy title. I hate building worthless presentations.

Maybe he thought it shouldn't be in that place. Or thinks 'delete' means 'add'. Or he wanted you to create a loop so there was never a last slide. Or he wanted to toy with you. Or... or...
I think I should go to bed.

Well, it's actually pretty important - we're shopping vendors for our 401(k) plan and so our finalists are giving their presentations to our execs. Since I'm in the HR department I have to sit in on it and take notes. :-P Oh well, it's only for one day - I can sip coffee and look alert. Friday I can get back to doing the parts of my job that I like. :-)

136 slides, fuck that. even if they get through a slide every 30 seconds it's over an hour long.
