Answer: Dresses, molasses, puppies and beer. Question: What does Excel make us think of?

And I can relate to that “You cannot quit Microsoft Excel” error, since I got it this week too, while using Excel over a Citrix server. The only way you can quit Excel is to disconnect from the server, wait 30 minutes, then log back in. Fun!

Is That a Feature?

• Wondering where the day (and an Excel file I have now saved three count em three times) got to.
• Error message: “You cannot quit Microsoft Excel”. Microsoft Excel: I wish I could quit you.
• the first time I open any txt file in excel it crashes excel. works like a charm the 2nd time. Is that a feature?
• Excel just informed me that there’s “Not enough memory.” Guess they haven’t heard of that virtual kind.
• Excel has crashed two more times, & now my office light is flickering. Apparently, the poltergeist feels it’s time for me to go home.

Miscommunication

• just wasted a ton of time trying to figure out how to plot a measly graph in excel -_-’
• I love Excel. This year’s raw data + my custom charts & graphs = awesomeness.

Excel Is For Girls

• Sharon says a pivot table will solve my problems. Wondering if she just means Excel or if it will fix 401k balance & the leaking faucet too?

Excel For Mac

• can’t use this aggregate planning solver on his Macbook. Next version of Excel for Mac rumored to include VBA support… NEED IT NOW!!

In an Excel Mood

• I love twittering. How is everyone today. Not in a creative fun mood - in an Excel spreadsheet mood.
• how do you start your day? i start mine with a cup of coffee and some thrash/metal/screaming/puppies/excel
