No, it's not a joke, but I'm going to let the Lounge come up with posts at joke level...
Question 1: wife or hubby has to go off to work. At what point do you hit the shower?
Question 2: in your family cell phone plan - can you track the location of SWMBO so you can clean up before it happens?
Question 3... oh crap, she's on her way to the car....
I'm expecting your best efforts  I expect this to show up in the next letter... let's go.
I might spin this into a survey.. or something, and send someone their selected beverage or item of choice. Raman is cheap to ship.

- If you are working from home, do you need to shower? Water conservation!
- Yes, but I do not need to track SWMBO. She will have Siri send me a text “Home in 5 minutes, be ready to help me unload the groceries, goat feed, etc”

You spell it wrong. It's SMWOB.

You want people like me to make up a joke? I'm dumb as rocks.

After about 3 weeks or so.
charlieg wrote: Question 2: in your family cell phone plan - can you track the location of SWMBO so you can clean up before it happens?
I don't know who or what this SWMBO is. You want me to track this SMWOB thing/person so that I can clean up before it happens? Something only needs to be cleaned up if it's dirty. Logic tells me that this SMWO8 thing is going to cause something to get dirty, and I need to clean it up... Well, I'll see what I can do.

This doesn't sound good. OK, when this unknown female arrives at the unspecified car's location, that's bad. Got it.

This unspecified thing needs to be spun, then you want to put it into a survey? ...or something... OK, I can work with that. Someone will select a beverage, or an item of choice and it somehow gets sent to someone. Who's this Ramen guy? I could be wrong, but I think it might be illegal to ship people. Leave Ramen alone and focus on tracking MWSBO before the unspecified female gets to that car. It's going to cause a mess and I'm going to clean it up. OK, I'll get right on it.

SWMBO - I'm sort of surprised at having to explain this but She Who Must Be Obeyed. It's all over the forum. Perhaps I missed a memo?

I've spoken with several random strangers. Based on the information I gathered, I have reason to believe that BMWOS may have selected Ramen's beverage and given it a spin. A female subject may be on her way to a car somewhere. It's possible this female is traveling on foot. We're searching for both the unknown female subject and a car that's likely somewhere. It's got 4 wheels from what I gather. Be on the lookout.

I haven't had either in 36 years; I'll shower when I feel like it, if at all.

I don't recall ever having a SWMBO, whatever that might be. If I ever did, the penicillin cleared it up.

If I offer her candy, will she get in?

Not married. Survey N/A. Working from home since 2007 (eat your heart out, Covid).
I was about 7 years old when I told an aunt of mine I'd never get married. She thought that was so cute. I remember getting annoyed she didn't make me seriously.
She passed away last year. Had I had a chance to go see her before it happened, I would've reminded her I not only have not changed my mind, but I'm now convinced more than ever, at the age of 51, it was the right choice.

Q1: We both work from home. I shower first while she feeds the livestock. (two cats and a dog)
Q2: It's pointless to track the whereabouts of She Who Might Be Obeyed. She'll detect any messes I've made no matter how well I've cleaned up.
Q3: I hope she brings home lunch.

Well, go and f*** yourself.
And to his mate who thought this must be default and non-changeable via an option, you can go to.
I know, it is not the first time I rant about this, but oh God does this cost me time.

Can you not OpenOffice or something?
I want to cackle like a madman watching the pendulum swing back towards "uhhh, this stuff sucks and native apps will always be better".

I am very open to alternatives, but in this very case it is at my workplace AND I reckon I enjoy the MSOffice suite.
Sharepoint is a big POS however.

Their thinking seems to be led by 'be better than Google at the online office suite'. Just look at the current 'New Outlook', it is an online interface in a native app  . I guess they think that is where the majority will end up, online, with less and less users of the native apps 
BTW, if you can't open an office doc in the native app from within SharePoint then I think that that's an admin setting, not an MS imposed limitation. From the ellipsis (...) menu, the Open item should give you three options, Open in browser, Open in app, Open in immersive reader.

Oh MY YES!!!
On a Mac it is hideous and flips to that abomination after every software update too.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

I have a marketing company and I don't even understand what Microsoft is hoping to achieve (in the long term) with these changes. It's very ham-fisted.

MS Office files specifically, or the entire idea of office suites running in a browser?

I just found this:
if ( ( _recStatus.OnlineState() == ONLINE ) || (_falseOnline == true) ) in some code. I didn't write it.
What. The. ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) .
... and yes, I know about The Weird and The Wonderful[^], which this is neither. This is motivation for homicide.

Ah, they miss the && (_trueOnline != false).
Or did you mean something else ?

I need to borrow your CP account name for a while. I promise to give it right back, as soon as I'm finished.

Maybe the author wanted to write:
if ( ( _recStatus.OnlineState() == ONLINE ) || (_pretendOnline == true) ) ...just a thought.
However I have little patience for underscores at the beginning of variable names. Everyone should have got the memo that they are reserved for compiler use since 2003. Seems even Microsoft has heard about that.
