oh well. I feel your pain. I typed 9+ pages of data into Excel today.

If I only had a brain...
So. Running down the hall yelling "I hate you all": STILL a bad career move, or the only sane response to an insane world?

I hope you have alcohol at lunch or in your desk.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm trying to compose a project charter, somehow innovatively distinguishing between the problem statement and the goals without saying in the latter "Address everything in the former."
Thank god English is so wordy. Still, tedious, and I wish we didn't have to follow this precise format.

I wish! It'd make the data funky but I'd at least have some fun.
I was gonna do as Betsy suggests and run through the office screaming about how much I hated them all but there's no one here so it would be wasted.

There's really no way to get from a pdf into excel-readable info, is there?
Scanning a printout with an optical character reader, maybe? Personally I'd trust just typing the info in more.

Some PDFs are cut and pasteable, although the format ends up a bit mangled.

Funny, my sister just asked me the same question. Shooting people also came up somewhere.
