Go Home Already: Shadow Boxing

- The D.C. government is making the switch from Microsoft Office to a system based entirely on Google Apps -- amazing! It's so forward-thinking it almost gives us hope that many of you will one day be able to convince your bosses to let you download a browser other than Internet Explorer.
- Looking for a big party? Looking for a big party with a really crass theme?
- Bam! Emeril is going to be filming in Fairfax, and is looking for locals who want to be on the show.
- Carol Schwartz has hired Fenty political strategist Tom Lindenfeld to help her with her write-in campaign.
- Two Maryland men who worked as special police officers for the D.C. public schools have pleaded guilty to taking bribes from someone who ran an illegal for-profit parking operation on the grounds of Eastern Senior High School.
- A new Italian deli co-created by a Penn Quarter resident will soon open on H Street NE.

you're assuming that some of us have a boss who would know the difference in web browsers

Google apps are fine if you want to do simple documents, which is what DC government employees should be creating anyway, instead of poorly edited crap in nine fonts, including Ransom Note. No more need to fly them to Vegas for Introduction to Excel training. I just hope they've put in decent porn filters, as what they spent 98% of their time is spent looking at. But they still have that last two percent to deal with. C'mon, DCPS! Show your stuff!

A switch to Google Apps could reduce the number of software features that DC govt employees don't know how to use by 43%. Thats a savings we taxpayers can really appreciate.

Google Apps? I though they were switching to an all Candyland workflow.

That Candyland crack is a vicious slur against hardworking DC government employees.
Besides, it's not Candyland. It's Uncle Wiggly. And maybe if you spent less time criticising the DC government's attempts to reduce cost overhead and more time trying to get to Dr. Possum's house, you'd be a little more sympathetic. God, it's impossible to follow the convoluted one-page instructions as it is. Give them a little credit for not stealing the game pieces and using the box as a toilet.
