I have a complicated relationship with Excel. Yes, that Excel. When we first met I was befuddled, confused, even a little repelled, but eventually I was drawn to its mysterious ways, its challenging formulae, and its captivating possibilities.

We became a team, a good team, despite a few hiccups.

Today, though, my sojourn with that uptight paragon of calculation was nothing but hiccups. I’d hoped to get in some writing today but instead I’ve been banging my brain against a wall of day-job data.

I’ll work out my Excel issues soon and we’ll be back to a happy, constructive partnership, but for now?

It’s time for a break.
