As a complete document nerd, I am a big believer in Google docs. I’ve been using them for years now, and I think they are a great way to keep groups of people organized and, literally, on the same page.
However, the more I try to use them as a complete replacement for their Microsoft Office counterparts, the more I’m disappointed and frustrated. I’ve been using docs exclusively to help keep my production team organized, but I can usually only take so many frustrations before I “download as .xls”. I just don’t have the time to try and force Google’s spreadsheets to do what I want.
After one such frustration, I tweeted the following:
Ok, that was pretty harsh. But I was really annoyed. Probably shouldn’t have thrown the “mentally challenged” part in there–not classy. But I said it, and to my surprise I received the following reply:
Miss Teresa Wu, according to her Twitter description, is a “community manager at @GoogleDocs. author of @mymomisafob.” Eager to take this opportunity, I quickly responded:
Ha! Get it! Funny. Whether my jab was picked up or not, @resawu hit me back with:
Is she? Is she really? ‘Cause here it is. I wish I could embed it with SlideShare or something, but I spent an amount of time on those animations, and they’re important to the…comedic timing.
Let’s see how that goes over!
