The worst part is Excel automatically spits out the sum, average, and count of all highlighted cells in the bottom right corner. All his coworker would need to do is select the damn cells.

I fucking love Excel, I tinker around in it for most of my working day, I like figuring out new ways to organize my budget/investment data.


Not so long ago I temped at a government agency in the admin department in between jobs. They gave me a data entry project they were sure would take me a week as they had to do it yearly and that's how long it took their senior admin assistants.

Took me 1 hour to figure out the appropriate excel function to do it, which automatically sorted all of their thousands of records into the format they needed. They said I should contract as a consultant for them after that.

I'd never fucking dream of working there because it's just full of dinosaurs who are going to be there until they die, but it was interesting to see how far behind they were in basic data entry.
