    Thanks for the fun!

    “Too bad we still don’t know what the title of the game is.”

    And, of course, this is TRWTF. Not that the title is unknown (it's almost irrelevant) but that all the other stuff that goes along with it is also unknown.

    I feel a little bit bad for Brad. I definitely know what it's like to be overwhelmed with enthusiasm, and not fully thinking things through.

    I hope he learned his lesson, and is now thankful for the experience.

    Why was Word the sticking point? Even Notepad would have been better than the postit notes.

    I got the vibe that Brad is not very technologically literate and very penny-wise (definitely pound-foolish either way.) So, "write it in Word" came across to him as "Waste a bunch of money on stuff we don't need (because we were doing fine without (code is being written (because the sticky notes "work"))) (she's not doing anything worthwhile anyway (deflecting blame from her incompetence) (trying to undermine me))" and so he dug his heels in.

    Word just turned into a convenient scapegoat when he couldn't accept that 'his system' didn't work to begin with.

    I get that Brad is stingy beyond any reason, but why weren't they using a free MS Office alternative like LibreOffice?

    Also, who is Jason? Is he Ross's alterego?

    I guess I shouldn't even bother posting this because I swear wrote the same comment for the original submission.
