Ahh...google.

By pure accident I recently became aware of how great Google Docs really is. I work part-time as a service coordinator for individuals with developmental disabilities, and each month I am responsible for submitting comprehensive cases notes related to each client. This past month the format of these notes changed drastically, as did the Microsoft Office version installed at my office. When I arrived at work the day notes were due, I realized that my home computer and my office computer had conflicting formats, and that my case notes were essentially unaccessible for the day, though that would make me out of compliance for the month. Then I realized that I had mailed draft copies of the notes to myself via my Gmail account, which was already linked to Google docs because of these exercises. Woohoo! I was able to edit and print each and every case note via Google Docs without worrying about versions, formatting, and the like. I also have begun a group project in the LIS program where my group and I are using Google Docs as our main form of communication when not working face-to-face. It's fabulous-very intuitive, easy to access, and free to boot! (I sound like a commercial right now, but in comparison to those silly new Microsoft Office commercials I've been subjected to when using Hulu, I just seem enthusiastic ;)
