... this is me with excel files for random bookkeeping shit lol. Everyone's are so ugly... but I'm making these look nice for all of like... 3 different people that use them lol. So at least when I have to do these random tasks twice a year... they look nice! Even if the old stuff worked or doing it by hand with a legal pad was sufficient... I gotta have that Excel column auto sum damn it!

ADHD is a bitch sometimes.

I do the same thing at my work. We have to update pricing information for 100,000s of items so I made templates for our team with xlookups and if-then statements so it takes less than one second.

I still catch people doing it manually every 6 months…
