Excel Hell

Sep 09, 2007 20:49

(Actually, I'm using OpenOffice Calc, not Excel, cause it's way better.)

I didn't get to go with sina Cat to Saguijo last night nga. I also didn't get to lay in the hammock contemplating life under the recent sunny sun awhile ago. And it's all because

Staring at the little boxes, chipping away at some amount here and adding it there and rearranging the whole thing again, it dawned on me kanina: how anal I am about budgets and planning and etc. Little details disturb me and I try to fix them all. It's no joke. I decide it'll take me an hour to do something, and it takes me two days because I keep tweaking the format and formulas to get just the right amount of information. After two days the spreadsheet would have evolved into something relatively useful, but then there are so many other things, so many other things that need different sorts of information. Sometimes I feel manic enough to go buy a book on programming and tie everything together for once and for all.
