As summer comes to an end (well in the Northern Hemisphere), people are huddled over their spreadsheets, assessing their careers, and cooking up plans of world domination, one co-worker at a time. This week’s Twitters show that thoughts have also turned to food and drink, with spreadsheet on the side. A long winter is ahead — we have to stay warm any way we can!
An Illustrious Career
- I am having so much fun generating Excel spreadsheets full of data that no one will ever look at…State government at its best!
- When kids dream of becoming game designers, I bet they don’t dream of sitting around arguing and enthusing about particular Excel functions.
- Went on a job interview – total bomb. Guess I don’t know Excel as well as I thought.
- google analytics guy just called out my old analyst job verbatim. analyst=”monkey sorting data in excel 90%, bathroom 10%”
- Looking back at old jokes I wrote for standup- I have about 150 single space pages and a multidimensional excel analysis of the bits 😎
Stop It!
- In Excel “Insert Copied Cells” and “Paste” are not the same, one will cover over the stuff you don’t want to lose. Don’t mix them up. ARGH!!
- Stupid thing about working out of excel spreadsheets. The one dumbass that comes along and sorts only one or two columns = FAIL..
- There’s no need to have an excel grid with 6 tabs, 100 rows of information in each tab with 4 different color codes. Stop it.
Wining and Dining
- is happy to help out with all Excel issues – and he cooks too!
- Is there anyway to make Excel’s graphs look nicer? I’m now looking at a graph of Russia’s GDP and it’s like mashed blood pudding.
- Honey Bunches of oats, Hot Chip, and Excel seems to be the winning combo
- I think I need to take Excel out drinking and hope we don’t respect each other in the morning.
- Rocking out to Al Green. Somehow my excel budget worksheet is so much sexier now
Excel’s Evil Side
- I got my co-worker addicted to Excel. The OCD shall inherit the earth.
- my pivot table pickup line usually works wonders
- Board here…staff on best behavior…meaning not so much Twitter today because it doesn’t look like work. Need Twitter disguised as Excel.
- One step closer to creating an Excel function so convoluted that no one will ever truly understand what it is doing.
