Antique Memes Roadshow

I am an '87 model, class of 2005, 8th grade was 2000-2001 for me. 8th grade for me was the only year I did at a brand new middle school; the school was for 6-8 and it opened my 8th grade year. They made a big thing about computers, and we all got at least some training in MS Works. Yeah. I took an elective class instead of like, Spanish or something that was more training in formatting shit like memos...I've never written a "memo" in my fucking life, memos were repealed when I was in college, you use email or teams or something now. And I took a course my freshman year of high school about the same thing.

I swear there were like 5 kinds of memos that were formatted differently we were supposed to know the differences between. That class was like British table manners. "If the starter course includes a meat dish, hold your starter fork without using your thumb or smallest finger, while crossing your ankles with your left in front of right on most days and right in front of left on Tuesdays and the Queen's birthday." "For an inter-departmental memo, single space and hanging intent, with the address of the company left justified and the contact information of the memo's originator right justified. But for an intra-department memo..." That's where I was on 9/11, in that classroom. I didn't learn much about typing in there, I learned how to type on MSN messenger hitting on girls.
