Aaaaah! (a rant)

I like consistency. It's not mandatory, but I do like it, especially with the small things. If my work Webmail is at a specific address, I like it to stay there. Don't move the link around while you apply 17 more layers of security to something that was working and securing just fine.

A couple of other things I expect: my outlook Webmail will remember and use the email signature that I created in my outlook desktop app. My outlook Webmail will allow me to change the font size and colour of the text in the email I have just created. And finally my outlook Webmail will allow me to paste text into my email without first asking me if it's okay to transfer data from the external program: clipboard. Of course I friggin want you to paste from the clipboard! I said paste didn't I?

Why do folks have to go and complicate stuff when the simple version worked just fine? I don't think I'm cut out for a life in technology... the small things bug me waaaaay to often these days...

When I was studying (IT) one lecture used to tell us that we'll face much opposition as we are "agents of change" and that sounded really appealing, like I am now able to go out there and change the world...

Unfortunately this does come with more bad than good experiences as you pointed out in your post
