This is my 2nd favorite part of crazy spreadsheeting days. 1st is the pure joy of Excel. <\/li>\n<li>Beach Boys Greatest Hits and excel spreadsheets&#8230;.my kind of afternoon <\/li>\n<li>Bobbing my head to Jay-z, while writing a macro that will consoidate excel file into one big daddy file. <\/li>\n<li>modeling in excel while listening to old Anthrax&#8230;.so satisfying. <\/li>\n<li>Spending some quality time with Excel and the Bladerunner soundtrack. I love my job. <\/li>\n<li>CHRISTMAS STATION ON PANDORA!!! You are making me not hate this excel workbook, like, at all. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Aging Gracefully <\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Also geeky&gt; Counting the days I&#8217;ve gone working happily without opening Word or Excel, (excluding reading docs others send me) Tally: 26 <\/li>\n<li>just remind yourself that Excel is nearly 25 years old.

Goble: It&#8217;s the tool many use, so they are designing tools round extracting from it <\/li>\n<li>Between a crap bug tracking tool and an unmaintained excel spreadsheet, i&#8217;m really unhappy with our bug reporting strategy&#8230; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>All Good Things <\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>ah, yeah it&#8217;s tough to beat Excel.
