why are spreadsheets such fucking assholes?



who invented these fucking things?

they are literally the polar opposite of fun. think of the most fun thing imaginable. now think of spreadsheets.

did you feel your heartrate increase? did you feel the sweat on your brow? did you feel that sudden urge to run?

that's called fight or flight.



if it were up to me, i'd choose flight every time. but it's not. it's up to my boss.

I had to make a spreadsheet at work a few weeks ago and THEN was expected to magically make address labels with a mail merge, something I'd never done and didn't know how to do.

Anything to give her a reason to keep up with her quota of trying to fire me on the daily.

So... your job = spreadsheets + stress + blogging - fun + taking work home with you...? I'm starting to get a better understanding of it.

I'm terrified marisa's boss and my instructor is going to magically become computer savvy and see all the bad things we write about her or all the ways we mock her.

I have to use excel 50% of every workday, and sometimes more. I hate/love it. I could punch/kiss those cells and lets not forget the many reasons it cannot recognize that pivot table for hours. Ahh...
