I need to store my emails for later reference, so I print them out.

But I don't want to keep stacks of printed emails around, so I scan the prints and save them as pictures because that's what the scanner does automatically.

But I need to search through the emails, so I found a browser plugin that can scan a picture for text and give me a summary in a new file.

But my company computer won't let me install browser plugins so I email the scanned pictures to my personal address and then open them on my phone and use the app version of the browser plugin to make the summaries and then I email those back to my company address.

But now I want to search through the summaries, which are Word documents, but Office takes forEHver to load on my shitty company computer so I don't want to use the search in it, so I right-click -> Print the summary files and then choose "Print to PDF" and then open them in Adobe Reader so I can search for the information I want that way. I usually have 200 tabs of PDFs open in Reader so I can cross-reference information.

I have a great custom workflow. I'm the most computer literate person in my office.

Reading this felt like the computer version of whatever the SAW movies are.

Torture porn? It's so repugnant but I want more.

The worst sentence is the last sentence, when you really think about what it implies.

Nah. While the text does successfully destroy the notion that "if it works it isn't stupid", I still see this as an improvement over so many people who are incapable of anything...
