Now today is 4/1/2008, but with custom time you can predate it to 3/31/2008 & send it now.
Then you call your boss & start discussing it as if he/she must have already received it & read thru....
Your boss is gonna say...I did not get that presentation from you..
You are like..but I sent it yesterday..
He's like..when..ohh..I see it now, I swear it was not there yesterday..
You are like "uh..hunhh!!" (American way of saying slacker / duh!! at work).
See...how you can embarrass folks.
These guys at Google are brilliant I tell ya what...What innovation, creative thinking, out of the box, blue sky strategy. MSFT can never think this way..
If only I can be a product manager for this custom time stuff. I mean what is in a date / time (right!!)..
I wish someone from Google can read how highly we think of them.
Oh well...I should quit fooling around & make something of this day!
