10. You just exported a file called AAAAAAARGH.pdf
9. You had to confirm saving over an older AAAAAAARGH.pdf on your desktop.
8. You just tried to use a Quark keyboard shortcut that hasn’t worked since the first Clinton administration.
7. You just had a knock-down drag-out fight with your significant other over hyphenation zones.
6. You just kissed your dog because you were finally able to delete an undeletable swatch.
5. You just said in your best Princess Leia voice, “Help me Layout Adjustment, you’re my only hope.”
4. You just spent half an hour trying to choose between Mocha and Ochre for your User color.
3. You just said to the plant on your desk, “What are YOU looking at?”
2. You just sent a co-worker a dirty joke. In GREP.
1. Command+click…nope…shift+click…nope…opt+click…nope…
