The problem is that Office 2007...well, SUCKS! I mean there are so many issues with that version of Office. The E-mail is ridiculously slow (e-mails get missed even when doing send and receives every minute). Excel is plain broken, since DDE opens everything in the same instance/window and makes it impossible to use the dual monitor setup I have. I cannot move the window without it being "un-full" sized. This is just a small portion of all of the problems with Office 2007. I mentioned to one of the IT managers that it sucks and if we could get Office 2013 or Office 365. He replied "most likely not considering it is not a pressing issue at the moment." So, my next step I thought is to ask

Should I create a new e-mail if my current one contains an online nickname? [duplicate]

As neither Stack Overflow, nor most of the SE sites are related to my "internet persona", I decided not to register with that name here, but kept my full name instead. My e-mail address, however reflects to this nickname. To be precise, it is (something like) katamori123@email.com , and I use it practically everywhere, even for receiving messages from the university. Now, however, I have to apply to a job to gain experience (I can't have a degree without it) and I was asked for sending a CV via e-mail. Would it ruin the image about me, if I use katamori123 as usual? Is it recommended to make an e-mail like zoltanschmidt@gmail.com
