Oh lord. There is no escape from the horrors of corporate America when your boss at the non-profit tutoring job asks if you know PowerPoint, so you can whip up a presentation about the PSATs.

My response: "I don't know PowerPoint, and actually I hate it. I think speakers give much better presentations when they're not glued to their computers, clicking away."

Sadly, I'm too nice to stop there, and offered to figure it out anyway if she feels strongly about it.

At least she hasn't asked me to set up teleconferencing.
