  • I really don’t know why I’d need to do a spreadsheet while I’m on the go.
  • My boss refuses to let me make complicated tables in Excel–he insists on WordPerfect 7.0, an outdated version at that. >_<
  • Made an excel spreadsheet of all my nail polishes & put the file on my @BlackBerry so I don’t accidentally rebuy the same color. #KindaNerdy
