Dear LIF Management,

Could you do me a favor.

Can you make this website look a little bit more like an excel spreadsheet.

Thank you very much,
Signed,
Constantly getting caught out

I would appreciate that as well, or even just make it look like an email...less website-y would be fantastic!

I get so mad when my boss walks in and I quickly try to minimize a reply and instead I hit the evil red x!

It minimizes all of the windows so that all you see is your desktop.

Re: Dear LIF Management,

I believe it's monster.com that has the "boss button"

When you hit it, it pops up and Excel Spreadsheet with meaningless text.

Alt+Tab works very well too...

Keep your spread sheet open and minimized... then at the appropriate moment - Alt+Tab Chat Icon

Re: Dear LIF Management,

I always keep Outlook or a spreadsheet open behind LIF, then when the boss or someone enters I'll quickly minimize. To complete the facade, I make sure to have some important paperwork sitting in front of me as well!! Chat Icon

Try Alt + Tab...that changes the screen to another open screen of your choice.
