I hate excel…

Today started out in fantastic fashion.

To get a proper perspective, I have to go back to Saturday.

As part of my duties, I get to audit timekeeping for 140 people. I have to telnet, using an Attachmate client, into Electric Boats’ timekeeping system. I have to write out the info into a spreadsheet. Approximately 4500 entries per week. 8 hours per week.

God, I am so lucky.

I had finished the audit on Saturday. I had rolled up the paper, stuffed it into my back pocket and walked down to my office on Pier 4 and when I got there, I did not have the papers. A search turned up nothing.

OK, FINE!!!! Eight hours down the…

So I decided to move on. I went to lunch to gain some strength for the afternoon. I then attempted to review some other spreadsheets that needed my attention. The link I had was dead.

SON OF A BITCH!!!!

Now to Monday…

The papers turned up…WOOO FUCKING HOOO!!!!!

Tuesday…

I am locked out of the Attachmate Client. God dammit!!!

The link for my other stuff is still dead. I call my counterpart in the business office. She sends me to the file that the link was to. Wrong. The changes I had made were not there.

I hate spreadsheets.

I asked her to look into here Recycle Bin…There they were…Next time…send me a link to the network drive…mmmkay…
