Scary Thought

There are things that just feel so right in this world.

Snuggling with my Sweetheart - I was meant to do this.

Writing / Blogging - I was meant to do this.

Excel - I was meant to do this.

I mean, when you find yourself at home, thinking "The best way to do this would be with an excel sheet" and you spend your own time working up a macro to factor in everything from groceries to your pron budget...

Yeah, it's bad.

  3. I do far too much in excel. Two years ago, I developed a formula to use the statistics of every team in the NCAA basketball tournament to predict the winner of every game. It failed pretty miserably, but that wasn't because of the spreadsheet, it was because of the bias I put into it.

    No, I'm not a nerd.

    And isn't the pron budget supposed to be kept secret from significant others?

  4. Hey, it's the 21st Century! What's mine is hers, and what's hers is hers.

    ...Wait, is that right?

  5. I love excel, LOVE IT. I once used to plan a bedroom. They didn't half take the piss out of me, the said "You'll never get that bed and furniture in there", but I was right! All thanks to Excel.

  6. And here I thought I was all alone, the only person ever to launch Excel while not being paid to do so!

    Of course, we could just be among a crazy few...

  7. no we're not - there are millions like us. Once you get into Excel, you really can't get enough. Some of my most satisfying days at work are spent pootling with excel - I'm in my element. LOVE IT! Of all the Office products, Excel has to be the most functional. Brilliant bit of software.

    I'm getting all excited.
