I am about to do something the Government has utterly failed to accomplish. I'm converting to metric. No longer will I say it's 38 degrees....from now on it's a more global friendly 3 degrees. No longer will I say 3 yards...henceforth it will be almost 3 meters. Volume will be a bit trickier because I have no idea how many cups are in a quart, or quarts in a gallon, or any of their metric equivalents. Miles!! Baaah!! Kilometers baby!

This is an actual conversation I just had. Names have not been changed to protect their identities.

Jay: MIS. This is Jay.
Vic: Hey Jay. It's Vic. I'm having email problems.
Jay: No problem. What's going on?
Vic: I sent two emails but they are still in my outbox. When I pull it up it says "Email Not Sent."
Jay: Ok. Look at the bottom right corner of your InBox. Right above the time...does it say connected?
Vic: No. It says Offline.
Jay: Ok. That's what I thought. Vic....are you online?
Vic: What do you mean?
Jay: Did you connect to the internet before opening Outlook?
Vic: No. Was I supposed to?
Jay: Uhhh.
Vic: I'm really illiterate.
Jay: Are you dyslexic?
Vic: Uhh....with computers.
Jay: No way!! Get out!
Vic: So what do I do to send these emails?
Jay: You get on the internet Vic. Close outlook. Get on the internet. Reopen outlook. Remember that email needs the internet to work. It only looks like magic.
Vic: Thanks man. It worked. Have a good one.
