Lonely and Dejected Office Assistant

Even though I've been using Microsoft Office 2000 for years, an interesting set of events seems to have happened today. I guess I must have opened a document, and after the office assistant (I use Einstein) walked in, I closed him down. He's not really very helpful anyway--hasn't been for years. Well, I must have repeated this a few times with various docs, spreadsheets, and/or presentations--I didn't really keep track. Apparently, the assistant will only take it so long. I got the following message:


Can you feel the pain in this plea? Do you want to get rid of me forever, or do you just want me to go away, hoping that maybe you'll need me next time? I felt like if I pushed the button to permanently turn the assistant off that another balloon would pop up and the assistant would be on its knees and sobbing "Please take me back! I can be useful! I can show you things! PLEASE!!!" Or maybe the assistant would get furious. "You think you can handle these spreadsheets without me? What are you going to do when you can't figure out how to combine data from different worksheets onto a single chart that is automatically updated with live data? You want to go it alone? YOU WANT TO GO IT ALONE? YOU CAN'T HANDLE IT ALONE!!! YOU NEED ME!!!

I turned it off. I'm heartless.
