No risk of that - these are permanent jobs :-)


*She* could decide to change to a different employer or profession.
Yeah, I know, once a gov't worker then always a gov't worker.

When Covid becomes history and she is back in the workplace, she might
want to have something to use for her own personal documents. Which
prompts me to ask: What was she using for her personal documentation
needs before Covid pushed her to working at home?


Notepad!?

Kidding, but not quite.

I'm sure I'm not your run-of-the-mill typical user, but I've never
needed to use a 'wordprocessor' type program for my personal
documentation. A 'text editor' is just fine.

I *do* have LibreOffice, but it's just to be able to view other
people's/organization's stuff, which is either needlessly 'fancy' or/and
they can't be bothered to supply a PDF (instead of a .docwhatever).

In a previous life, I had to use a wordprocessor (WordPerfect),
because the customer valued fancy over substance (of my technical
research). It only increased my disgust for fluff.

Thanks for listening. I feel *so* much better now! :-)
