You know you're working too hard when...

.. you start to see shapes in your Excel spreadsheets :/

Just been messing about with this one, and put a filter on it. The parts which had been filtered formed the shape of a Christmas Tree.

Awwwww!!

Erm... yeah... bedtime or something

You need sleep

Feek · 04-10-2007, 23:24

I see what you mean.

And Haly is right - Go to bed!

But I LOVE Pivot Tables

:P

Unfortunately, the big boss had me putting together a last-minute presentation to show some important bod for the past 2 days, which has left me NO TIME doing what I'm supposed to be doing. So I've brought it home to do in the peace and quiet. Boo!

I wouldn't mind, but most of it is nothing to do with me. I just happened to be around when he wanted a lacky to do his work for him.

I did an intermediate Excel course last year and we covered pivot tables. Yeah, they can do lots but I only did the course because there was a spare place and I blagged it! The person who does the training sits opposite me in the office every day anyway so it was a pure blag for a day out!

If you asked me about pivot tables at work now, I'd point you at her

Yeah, unfortunately the new buyer is like you :P She's come from a company where admin people do all the data stuff, so she's absolutely ZERO idea how to do anything meaningful on Excel. That means that I've just been a data monkey for the last 2 weeks, sorting out contract information for 7,500 parts, most of which are subject to our absolutely horiffic data integrity issues on SAP. ARGH tbh!

So, whilst I'm flattered that our Global Purchasing Director wants me to spend 2 days running around like an idiot doing a presentation for him... I'm a little pissed off because I wanted to finish these damn contract lists.

END OF RANT!

I think Lostkat actually needs January to come around rather than getting some sleep.

lostkat · 05-10-2007, 00:05

Santa, I'd like a hunky admin assistant for Christmas please. The bespectacled spotty youth given to us on the grad scheme is useless!

Contracts will be all done for Christmas, and then that's IT for around 3 years. Huraah!

Right, my eyes have now turned to blue flashing cells, so I'm going to do a VLOOKUP for my bed.
