Hot dog!, or, Just in case you thought we journalists were an efficient, conspiratorial machine ...
I'd been sitting here for the past 30 minutes trying to remember how to do X on our computer system and then trying to remember where I had put my notes on how to do X on our computer system.
Failing at both, I rather shamefacedly sought help from one of our tech folks, apologizing as I did for my incipient senility.
"You CAN'T do X," he said. "You never could. You have to be a page designer [i.e., have page-designer software] to be able to do X.
"So you're not senile."
I'm. Not. Senile.
Hallelujah! My day can only get worse from here.

Well at least you haven't gone out and bought software to do X, brought it home, installed it, and then learned that it came preinstalled on your computer. Or have you?
Yeah, I did.
