Excel Twitters 20100206

Here are some of my favourite Excel tweets from yesterday. Instead of breaking the tweets into categories, I’ll just post them in one long list. That should make it more serendipitous, and more “Twitter-like”.

Anyway, I just hope that nuclear reactors have better security than Excel does!

• Story idea: Admin’s typo yields Excel formula proving God exists. Boss deletes, as it doesn’t accurately track accounts. Universe vanishes.
• Wanna merge cells? – Excel pick up lines.
• Just discovering that VLookups in Excel aren’t fast. #WouldHaveBeenQuickerInPerl
• Dont talk to me about excel.
• i guess everyone is using excel to create charts – but that’s simply not cool
• Our graphic designer just hugged me because I showed her how to use the ‘concatenate’ function in excel. Am terribly amused.
• has finally finished entering all my 2009 receipts into an Excel spreadsheet. It only took 6 hours. Maybe this year I’ll enter them as I go.
• excel crashed just when i was about to finish my last sheet of work for the day. didn’t get angry though. just laughed and started over. (:
• Mom is home. I miss my silence already. The sound of she and the dogs eating pistachios as I duel with Excel may be the death of me.
• On standby for acute surgery, making love to a sprawling Excel file and wishing I was Speedo-clad beneath a waterfall of iced coffee.
• …and that’s how i spent 4 hours working in excel. on one sad little chart.
• Why can I order data better in iTunes than Excel, that’s stupid!!!
• Discussed favourite #Excel shortcuts with my boss. ALT+D+G+G (mine) beat CTRL+E+S+V (him). Clearly we’re scarred by previous jobs. #geek
• Made a silly mistake in Excel. If the same mistake occurred at a nuclear reactor, we’d all be quite dead.

So, what do you think? Is the uncategorized list better? Worse? No difference?
