It seems your definition of serious work is secretarial work. It is no
doubt important as administrative work in most organisations but at
best it is a tool to aid productivity. In my experience the time
people waste trying to get Microsoft Office to do what they want it to
do exceeds any overall benefit.

So you must be a secretary. No shame in that.

The fact you think using Microsoft Office is the be all and end all of
computing just shows what an ignorant person you are. Yes, your case
is closed.
