Don’t blame Excel when your wedding goes over budget – it can’t order a fighter jet on its own! However, pastel pie charts wouldn’t cost much, and make lovely decorations.

- Ok, I think my spreadsheet is now current. Dear COO, please to be not adding anything new to it, else my head might explode. /frazzled
- New addition to the ultimate wedding spreadsheet "fighter jet flyover"#goingtogetintrouble
- btw i can teach you pivot tables, but only on older versions of excel — the 2007 version blows.
- Is it me, or is Excel 2007 just plain sluggish?

- I love inserting comments in excel sheets. The small text boxes with arrows pointing to the cells excite me. Lol!
- Not that said coworker intentionally confused his code… that’s just the nature of the beast when working in Excel. Ugh.
- I hate Excel.I do,however,love my secretary (an appropriate amount).altho its her fault I am lazy&have an IT skills gap!
- I wrote between 12K and 20K lines of code today. Well not me excel did most of the work. I am the worlds most inefficient code monkey.
- Just wrote an #excel formula that line-wraps 3 times. If I hadn’t written it myself, it would look like an alien language.
- Ughh comp died and excel lost half my data of the populations of the 200 countries in the world #fml
- Just found some SUMPRODUCTs in an old spreadsheet I made. SUMPRODUCT…? SUMPRODUCT..? Ah! I remember those… *wistful sigh*
