I hate Excel because&#8230; just look at this nonsense.<\/li>\n<li>Update: I am an excel master *cries after finally passing a roadblock that was so stupid simple I might just crawl into a hole*<\/li>\n<li>One summer, I spent two weeks in an office pasting a shredded excel spreadsheet together.Gave up on day four. No idea if the task was even necessary, or if my manager was just a sick fan of Argo.
