Twitter users don’t seem to have much patience for the elderly — and that’s probably anyone over 35! I’m old enough to remember that Easter egg, so I definitely fall into the elderly category too.
- Excel 2010 thinks files from a mapped network share is an unsafe Internet location. Thx for trying to protect me from work, MSFT.
- Getting over excited about Excel again. This is becomming a problem.
- F11 in Excel creates a quick chart/graph who knew 🙂
- I just spent two hours working on an Excel chart. Yes, you read that right, TWO FREAKING HOURS. And it’s not even that nice of a chart.
- no really, I LOVE showing the elderly how to use Excel…FML
- At times, in life, I find myself confronted by an Excel pivot table.
- Note to self: never ever use a shared Excel worksheet again. Each save takes about 20 minutes!
- Last day at Microsoft. Wondering if I can find the source code for that flight sim easter egg in excel from back in the day…
- someone in my office deleted two huge excel files from a shared drive and we have no backup. #fml #ineedadrink
- YES! Huge messy workbook/Excel thing done for client trying to get big bank loan. My god, that was a LOT of data. My head hurts! #bookkeeper
- This smooth jazz band playing across the street from my house is turning spreadsheet work into party time.
- What year of Excel do you use? I’ve only ever learned 2003. I’m behind the times.
- Just exported a excel spreadsheet to PDF, like a boss.
- Just finished my extensive excel spreadsheet to track stats for the new NFL season. I know, I know its bad… a jock and a nerd.
- I know its late but does anyone know how to work Excel? I’m having technical difficulties

I don’t usually include the tweeters’ names, but made an exception for the last tweet in today’s list. It seemed relevant, somehow.
There might be a couple of things I’d need a spreadsheet to track — books, CDs — but certainly not nail polish!
There was a lot of love for Excel in yesterday’s tweets. Maybe it just looks attractive by comparison, after spending the week with an annoying boss and co-workers.
Hmmm…math on paper and pencilled in comments – some people aren’t using Excel to its fullest capabilities. Good thing your sense of humour can get you through the workday, without resorting to Excel pain drugs.
I don’t know what media glasses are, but maybe they’d improve my Facebook updates, or my Excel tweets.
Yesterday was Labour Day in Canada, and Labor Day in the USA, so the Excel tweets were fewer than usual. Still, some people had a bad day, ranting at Excel, so they’ll be glad that the Monday mazes are over.
Hooray! It’s the start of a long weekend. Then, next week, we can get back to Excel, and our uber complicated code, and feel like the smart kids in class.
This is the first that I’ve heard of a problem with British spreadsheets, or at least the people who create them. Maybe they’ve been afflicted with 3D Insanity. 
Pretty light day for Excel themed tweets yesterday. Maybe everyone was busy putting out computer fires.
I’ve run into a few monster spreadsheet, but never a dingo, and none that were funerary coloured.
If I received that colourful Excel file from a client, I’d probably crack open a bottle of wine too. If you’re going to get a headache anyway…
It’s a good thing that I don’t have a spreadsheet allergy. They do make me laugh occasionally though, and not just the pivot tables.
Meetings, interviews, shonky data, and mad formulas — no wonder we’re losing brain cells!
As much fun as a spreadsheet? I’m pretty sure that’s a compliment. Now I have to get back to working on my fall tv spreadsheet.
Ah, George Costanza — now there’s someone you want to take career advice from. He probably measured his Excel charts with a real-life ruler too.
Excel certainly brings out the violence in some people, but I’ve never heard of a death certificate being required before. Please, use your ninja Excel skills responsibly!
Nice to know that the yutes will take over all the Excel work, so we old people can relax. That will leave more time for Twitter, scotch and music!
Sure, a date night with an Excel worksheet can be more fun than going to a movie. Just don’t end up in cell B52!
I’m not a medical professional, but if Excel makes your blood pressure go up, you probably shouldn’t use it to track your blood pressure readings.
You can’t merge cells in a shared workbook? There’s one good reason to share a workbook! And maybe that 303 pound quarterback should spend more time using the Text to Columns feature, and less time eating chocolate.
Now that you mention it, that spreadsheet does look like it was attacked by a psychedelic snail.
That "Quit Without Save" thing has never happened to me. Well, not in the past couple of weeks, anyway. And why is a floppy disk still the icon for Save?
Snakes, crocodiles, hedgehogs, monkeys and dogs! Is this an Excel workbook, or a zoo?
I hope the epic guy and the simplify guy don’t work together. And is it just me, or do you find it funny that Lotus made a car named Excel?
Should you really be using Twitter during an Excel test? I don’t think so. Using Excel for wedding vows seems like a great idea though.
