  • I love excel. So much so that I grabbed a handful of for dummies books about it, abaorbed them, and moved on to vba.

    It’s not that it is necessarily easy, but moreso brutally satisfying to be able to swear at a worksheet triumphantly once you’ve wrangled something obscene.

    Currently refreshing with 2019 power programming in vba and two older ones, sql for dummies+ crystal reports for dummies. Crystal reports is goddamn brutal to learn, but fuck is it good.

    It’s also kinda fun trying to explain sql tables to people. For context, I’m in accounting but got real tired of all the manual formatting shit I used to have to do. It set me down the path to figure out why things sucked so hard. It’s coming in handy at my new job. I might eventually haggle for a custom title of Spreadsheet Developer lol

    Also, archive.org has a bunch of reference books on miscellaneous computer stuff. It’s where I grabbed most of mine. They had a lawsuit recently so some of the books are unavailable but hopefully op can dig up something useful.


  • In north Carolina, there once was a commissioner of labor named cherie berry. She is the only commissioner of labor who has ever had a picture included on some things, such as the inspection placard inside elevators. She became known as the elevator lady. When i left the state I was beside myself at the lack of people pictures in elevators.

    They made a shirt with that pic. The caption? Cherie berry lifts me up.
