I’ve been trying to think of a less corny pun/movie reference all week…oh well!
This last week was a trip for me. Birthdays are usually a time for reflection. Looking back on my life, and being slightly depressed about another lap around the sun, this year I can honestly say that I am genuinely happy with the course I’m on. Instead of wishing I was anywhere except for work, I feel blessed to have this opportunity. This is by far the most challenging thing I have ever been paid to do.
It’s easy to get frustrated with Excel, it is daunting…even a little intimidating. But so is driving a semi-truck or using a chainsaw. In the end they are all just tools. The sooner I master Excel, the sooner I can get more comfortable with the data.
In the interest of full disclosure, this is about the tenth time I have changed my opinion on the matter.
Cheers,
Ward
Great title and I love how you equate learning Excel to learning to use any other tool!
Ward, I love the title too!! Such great parallels you’ve drawn with your past, but with a positive twist in the end. Keep chugging away – you will get so much benefit from overcoming this little barrier.
