I'm sorry

Posted on 12:44 by Unknown
Tiger Woods has apologized for his behaviour.

I'm also sorry.

I'm sorry for all the trees that gave their lives so that user guides could live.

I'm sorry for all the dumb questions I've asked SMEs over the years, just so our users wouldn't have to call tech support with those same questions.

I'm sorry for all my widows and orphans.

I'm sorry that I can't explain what the subjunctive condition is.

I'm sorry for having a bad fonts day.

I'm sorry that I can't spell XML or pronounce the word mnemonic.

I'm sorry for all the tech writers who still use Word.

I'm sorry for abruptly telling a developer that "Error - bad - You have failed" is neither an appropriate nor meaningful error message.

I'm sorry for all my typos. They will never happen agin.

Finally, I'm sorry for all my lousy blog posts. I hope this isn't one of them. But if it is....

...I'm sorry.
