Accomplishment

My Internet was down overnight. I’d brought work home and couldn’t tackle it till Comcast left around 10 a.m. I spent the last four and a half hours working on one document, after spending six hours on it yesterday. Someone had given me an Excel spreadsheet full of crap submitted by 40 people, unedited. I thought the editing part would be the easiest. Turns out that things were not inputted in date order and could not be sorted, so I exported the load of crap to Word, where it turns out that after my sleep-addled self went and formatted every entry, only to find that nearly half of the entries were duplicates — the two people who compiled the document put in the same events only with different contact information for the parties responsible for the events. Is 2:30 p.m. too early to have an adult beverage?

In better news, I got a new computer. I have a shitload of work to do this afternoon/evening, but tomorrow, I get to set it up. Yee-haw! It will be nice to start using Panther at home! Today, my little crappy system kept crashing because I had too many documents/applications open. Oh , to move into the new millennium technology-wise! Hurrah!
