It's only page 1667 for me mrs.dr.ron. I didn't know until someone told me a couple of weeks ago, that you can change how many posts appear per page!

Looks like I missed the fun and games.

I thought about doing that and decided it was very immature.

I'm not sure how you would determine if their profession should include this technical function. For example, should an accountant know or a sales manager?

I think I'd just be happier if the spreadsheet was PDF'd and that way I wouldn't know if there were any formulas in it. :/

If it was an engineer, I'd give him a slap around the head. Engineers should know how to use Excel and for sure know how to use formulas, even on a basic level.

If I had to put money on it, I'd be putting it on the accountant and not the sales manager. Either one, not sure if they'd be familiar with using formulas in Excel. I'd only say the accountant because they would have more exposure to Excel manipulation, particularly using SUM or AVERAGE.

It was testing time tonight.
Qwibble rebate site plus an RAC sourced 5% off Wish Card from Woolies to see if I can get a combined 14.6% off the Dan Murphy's champagne special in a 6 carton with free delivery.
I paid an ATO bill on the US Citi Visa to get AA points at 0.42cents per point seeing the last one exchanged at .9345 I will book the funds replacement tomorrow to recycle the funds.
Don't assume these two thought bubbles will work but I would never, never know if I didn't give it a go. If it all goes pear shaped the Billecart will be the medicine.

Jnr#2 has posed a question to me; What's the difference between Earth and the Earth? I reckon Earth is the planet and the soil or dirt or top layer of the planet is The Earth. If that's the case, then what is the top layer of Jupiter or any other planet called? Would you call the dirt or dust of Jupiter, The Earth of Jupitar or would it be The Jupitar of Jupitar?

I'm talking about everyday terms, not scientific crust layer terms!

The more we think and talk about it, the more confusing (and weird) it is becoming.

My boss quite often emails me with a spreadsheet and asks me to insert or change a formula to alter prices or fx rates by x% or whatever. To be honest, I despise the fact that someone can put numbers into a spreadsheet (and it looks the same) and then send it to the boss and get credited for doing the same thing. The problem (my problem admittedly) is that, the boss doesn't know the difference. What takes me 5 minutes to do, someone has spent 3 hours doing.

What I often have to remind myself of is that, when I'm upset by things at work, it often signifies that there is no drama happening at home. This is a good thing!

The right half of the brain controls the left half of the body. This means that only left handed people are in their right mind.
