Fucking Do It Yourself.

Months ago I was asked by Annoying Colleague Who Should Have Done It Himself to make a company-branded template for Word and PowerPoint. It was a lot harder than it sounds, and created waves with the CEO (WTF??), who wanted a different sort of bullet points. But I emerged victorious, in that I made a PowerPoint template. (Word can go fuck itself.) It was then requested that I go round every machine in the office, making sure the template was available. I went to one machine and then emailed the instructions to everybody else. But all they had to do was grab it from the server, which I told them how to do.
        And what do you think happens now, when somebody wants to put our branding on their presentation? Why, they come and ask me to sort it out for them of course! It's fucking ridiculous, and I often find myself insulted. But then I remember I actually don't have anything better to do.
