Things That Are Bothering You, Got You All Hibbeldy-Jibbeldy, or just downright pissed, RIGHT NOW!

Ok, I'm working with excel sheets with formulas and over 10000 lines of data. How the **** am I supposed to find the reason for a $30 difference between sheets?? FML

Start using a better tool for the job?

Once it gets like that, excel is completely unauditable.

Betimes people ask me for advice, and then when I give it to them, they make it known to me that they don't think I know what I'm talking about. If they don't think I know what I am talking about, then they should not waste my valuable time asking me for my advice.

I've never in my life done this, but at some point I'm going to say "No, I will not offer my advice b/c you will ignore it and insult me in the process. Figure it out yourself."

The next time I read the phrase "drill down" I am going to put a drill through my eye. 

What's worse, "drill down" or "deep dive"? I get both.

There's no rule that you have to show her.

I do think people work too much.

It's one thing to put in long hours at crunch times, but most people can't do sustained long hours efficiently.
So many people spend who spend crazy hours in the office, either make up for it in time where they are zoned out or giving their minds a break...or their work quality starts to suffer to the point where those extra hours aren't helpful.

There are studies about this, but we don't seem to be learning.

One of the more self-destructive elements of American corporate culture, especially when your job requires creativity or critical thinking.

Personally, I hate working. I hate long days, I hate being accessible to work on my off hours (even vacations), and would love to work less. Thing is there's certain expectations and then there's trying to get your schedule compressed. By that last part I mean it's not uncommon for me to have a 6am breakfast meeting the same day I have a 5:30pm meeting. If there was not that expectation that senior level folks are in from dawn to dusk, and I could compress my schedule, I could do my job in probably 15 hours a week at the office and the rest from home. There's just that human component though, where face time is so valued (and valuable), that you can't get around.
