Help, I have fallen off a pivot table and can’t get up

looking for the light

I want to believe that the days are getting longer and the sun is coming back to my side of the building.

About 2:30 this afternoon I started trying to generate some numbers so the boss can justify my outrageous billing rate. Extract a mess of data from my system. Fire up excel. And bang. I ended up in pivot table hell. Trying to get 4 or 5 pivot tables from the same data to give consistent results. Five hours later, I declared the result “good enough” shipped them off. We ran over 5,000 covid vaccinations through my system. Tomorrow, I am meeting with the vendor and hopefully, I will be replaced by a custom upgrade. 

Gratitude

Grateful for chicken soup. Yesterday I made some OK chicken soup from things I ordered off our room service menu and some excellent chicken stock that I had delivered from Whole Foods. That was dinner.


In addition to falling down an excel rat hole, I did laundry and went for a nice walk. friluftsliv you know. 

Oh, my Covid shot reaction. The arm is sore. But not red like it was with #1. Yet. This Covid shit isn’t going to be over in my life time. Neither is the evil that the Orange Lord has unleashed.
