If someone wants to use a weird definition for a word and hit me because of that they’re prolly someone I wouldn’t spend a lot of time talking to anyway.
It was enlightening. Like I got my lips around the base. I pulled it out just fine. Maybe these folks were like deep throating these light bulbs, which honestly I think the porn industry might have influenced these light bulb deep throats.
I used to work for municipal government in a major American city. The database for the entire city downloaded query results to your desktop formatted as Excel 95. Still does.
At one point I had to install special R packages because someone retired and I was tasked with taking over the worksheet they had been maintaining forever and the usual R packages to read data from Excel can’t parse Excel 5.0.
There was also someone in the office who still used a typewriter on the regular.
Yup, I had someone print off Excel sheets, manually highlight and write in corrections, and them bring the pages over to my desk to have me fix them in the file.
I also once had the city reject a report I submitted because the width of the columns in the Excel file were different from the previous year and they wanted to print it all off on one page.
Some number of years ago, I was an intern within a department of state government. I was tasked with helping to enrich their databases. So they sent over an Excel file. I did my thing and added new columns, then I had to send it back over to someone within each division so they could do the data entry. To my horror, when I went to visit one of the division heads, I saw their admin sitting at a computer with a printout of my changes sitting on a document holder next to the screen…manually typing geographic coordinates into a data entry form.
True, I work in ecomm and we definitely have database exports being passed around relatively freely. No passwords obviously, but segmentation data, emails, addresses, phone numbers, etc.
We have good IT security but it still doesn’t feel great.
man i wish second languages were more of a thing for people in the US
ive struggled learning spanish for a while as an adult and i just wish I had went to an immersion school or something as a youngster. even if it doesnt really matter, i think its just so great. great for your community, great for your brain; besides the time i dont see any downsides to learning another language
My company used Google for a few years. Higher level Excel users hated Sheets and didn’t give up Excel. But for the rest of us riffraff Sheets was great. The collaboration features work really well, better than Office 360.
I’m one of the Excel guys, I live by tables, PowerQuery, VBA/UDFs, and loading data from APIs and SQL databases. If any of that functionality lives in Sheets I’ve never been able to figure it out productively.
My last contract used Sheets and I felt like a toddler, it’s too different for my tastes.
I get the total opposite. I'm a security contractor. People will look at me 30 feet up on a scissor lift pulling cable and ask where to find the diapers. They see ladders and tools = must be store employee.
