Song of the Day: May 10
"The Ghosts of Beverly Drive” by Death Cab for Cutie
#song of the day
#lovely rain today and exactly the right amount of cool and windy to get the smell of it in my room
#spent my morning performing excel magic tricks for a /very/ appreciative audience I must say
#one of my coworkers is very much in demand for help with identifying poorly-labeled fields in our oldest query structures
#she's been around for a million billion years and can glance at a column and effortlessly expand its useless acronym title
#I tapped her for a question and she was answering me on what I did not realize was an open zoom call in the conference room by her office
#and then when she finished answering me she asked me for help with an excel formula in exchange
#and I helped her (an easy fix. she is /not/ good at logic structures. always goes for OR when she needs AND and vice versa)
#and then I was teasing her and said how she didn't have to hold onto her questions until she had something to barter with
#that I like fixing things and I'll help for free
#and then her laptop was physically wrenched around by another coworker farther down the table
#(not as disorienting as actually being grabbed by the head and bodily turned but even over zoom it was still an Experience)
#and the accosting coworker asked if that went for everybody. could anyone ask me for excel formula fixing help. please /please/
#and I was like yes? can't guarantee I can do anything but sure? how much help could you need?
#y'all I gotta say. like battling an enthusiastic and especially unthreatening hydra. chibi excel hydra.
#it was incredibly satisfying after so many days of intense frustration to have problems I could so easily solve and for such grateful folks
#and some of their formulas were pretty fun to set up. always love the little glimpses of behind-the-scenes in special exceptions
#any time you put in conditional formatting for if a single specific person's ID is in the 'comment entered by' cell
#there's a story there
#anyway I heard so many people say 'I don't know why' this morning and then it was such a perfect cool gray day
#I've been humming Ghosts of Beverly Drive all evening
#'I don't know why I don't know why / I return to the scenes of these crimes
#where the hedgerows slowly wind / through the ghosts of Beverly Drive'
