Power point isn't working, so I can't write my presentation.

Microsoft word isn't working, so I can't read my notes to write my presentation, but that's okay because powerpoint isn't working so I can't write my presentation.

Yahoo Messenger isn't working so I can't ask advice or get pleasant distractions from friends so I have to read my notes only Word isn't working so I can't read my notes to write my presentation but it's okay because powerpoint isn't working so I can't write my presentation.

...I don't know why she swallowed a fly.

Perhaps she'll die.

Oh, shite, hon. Are you at the lab, or at home? Can you get to a working computer with PowerPoint?

[villainny.livejournal.com]

I'm at the computer room.

My account appears to be screwed.

I don't have powerpoint at home, and I don't have my notes saved at home, and it's not the computer that's at fault, it's my account. So every computer will have the same problem.

And the worst thing is it's entirely my fault. So we have the paralysis of utter self loathing to go with the lovely paralysis of OH SHIT I'M GONNA FAIL.

Huzzah.

*flails* Oh fuck. Um. I have no expertise in this area whatsoever. Is there a computer lab attendant on this time of night? Or can you call a friend and get their account info to use for this?

[villainny.livejournal.com]

It's four in the morning.

hehehehehehehe

When will the lab be staffed, and when is your lecture? If you've got your research, write out your slides longhand, and then when you figure out how to get to Powerpoint later on the info will be ready to just type in. Really, it's an easy program and wouldn't take long.

Gah. I'm sorry, Nny, I wish I could tell you more. *hugs tight*

[villainny.livejournal.com]

*cries all OVAH you*

*hands you Kleenex*

I do have powerpoint, and nothing special to do all night, if you need me. Dude, I will call you and take dictation if it'll help.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Well, I've got word working, which means my notes are there, which is progress. I can sketch out the slides, and then I'll see if powerpoint works later- if not, Smaller has it on her computer and I can root her out of bed at 9ish and put it together then.

>:D< thankee.

[indy-go.livejournal.com]

Oh, phew. PRINT OUT YOUR NOTES RIGHT NOW, just in case word crashes again. Fingers crossed, love.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

Can you get someone else to log in and use theirs?

[villainny.livejournal.com]

...at FOUR AM?

No. I'm the only crazy here.

I could run around naked. I choose not to.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

I think you deserve a little naked time.

[indy-go.livejournal.com]

Mmm. *nods sagely* Everyone does, once in a while. *g*

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Yes, but the world never did anything bad enough to deserve my naked time.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

I love that the gmail sidebar links to this comment are for menstrual cramps and vaginal itching.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

...I don't love that. I emphatically don't love that.

WHAT'RE YOU IMPLYING, GMAIL, YOU FUCKER?

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

Dude, it has nothing to say. The sidebar is blank.

You scare Gmail, Nny.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

It deserves it.

Bastard.

[tropes.livejournal.com]

Shit.

Write it in a post filtered to you and me and I'll try to help you.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the offer, but...

I need powerpoint. I can't do anything without powerpoint. I have quotes, and I have the complete LACK of fucking research I've done, and I have a presentation to do, and I'm screwed, and getting someone else to help will just make me feel more like crap because I have no idea what I'm doing, I have no idea what I'm talking about, and I have monumentally shot myself in the foot.

Urgh.

And the bestest thing of all is that I'm losing my voice, so I will have to do this presentation through the medium of interpretive dance.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

But if you send it to someone who has powerpoint, they can make it into slides for you and send you back the file.

I'd do it if I FUCKING HAD POWERPOINT *hates MS Office*

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

I love you nny. >:D<

You make me want to hug you and smile even when you're unhappy.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Well I'm glad one of us is grinning. *g*

I'm currently attempting to choreograph the mime I will have to do to explain that powerpoint ain't working.

My voice is on vacation. Possibly in the Bahamas. In Pyjamas. Are coming down the stairs...

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

I have two words for you.

INTERPRETIVE DANCE.

Hey, you think your inability to do anything with powerpoint is a sign that really you should be RPing at Milliways? :D

[villainny.livejournal.com]

...Don't tempt me. Seriously. I have to give this presentation in 8 hours.

ohgodiwanttorp.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

Well, not to tempt, but if you wait an hour you know your account might stop freaking out.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

...alright.

But just a little while. *g*

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

HEE HEE HEE.

[wickedtrue.livejournal.com]

Er. Well, this depends entirely on what sort of problem you are having with the computer right now.


Here is a faux power point program that's compatible with power point. Only problem is it depends on what type of network you have in order for it to work. But it's something!

I once got a C on a project that needed to be a slide presentation of some kind and I did an interpretive dance. It wasn't a theatre class, either. I find shock value and balls goes a long way with some professors.
