Stupid Customer Rant

A lot of my job is formalising peoples' work processes - generally taking their dodgy Excel spreadsheets that have been worked on by 20 people over 5 years, and turning them into a formalised database-based system - this gives them scalability, reliability etc. Along the way I come across some truly retarded Excel formulas ( Read more... )

You do know. Mmmm chocolate.

Bringing beer home as well/instead would cement your place as Most Awesome Girlfriend Of All Time against all challengers. Not that there are any. But just in case - you know, buttressing.

What's a good combination of beer and chocolate?

Don't listen to the heathen. Any good beer and any good chocolate is awesome, as long as you leave at least 30 seconds gap while switching.

You're not MAGOAT to you, you'd just be TEHGOAT. To me you're MA'GOAT. Assuming you're a goat. Which you're not.
