It's just as much a function of working on government hardware. It's unbelievable how hamstrung we are.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Okay, well, I'm going to refer you to Consuela's three year quest to being hired for the job she does and for which she is uniquely qualified.

Does F9 get it to force calculate? If so, then find the Calculation button on the ribbon and see if it is somehow set to manual.

Even if you enter 1+1 in a cell, you get zero; the only solution is to close excel. I had a colleague -- who can do the whole hotkeys-flying-windows-flashing-only-in-the-movies excel hacking -- help me out.

Oof, bon, that's some hard-core excel!
I hate hate hate dresses without pockets. This is part of why I'm learning to sew, so I can put pockets in my dresses. Doesn't help the pants though, they're harder. And often have the stupid faux-pockets, or ones that are so small they're useless. eShakti apparently has pockets in pretty much all their dresses, which kicks ass.
I went to karaoke tonight to hang out with a woman I vaguely know from dancing and hoped to meet hot friends of hers. Sadly, not really on the hot friends, but one of my good friends here who I hardly see was there and drunk as hell--it was his last day at his current job so he was celebrating. Good times!! Lots of singing and dancing.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Stylish pockets. That's all it would take to make millions.
I dont think they absolutely have to be stylish even.
They'd have to be easier than figuring out what my insurance covers for my cracked screen on my phone. That's it. Easier.
I need to learn to sew pockets into skirts.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Re: tiny pigs, apparently there have been problems with scam-artists selling regular piglets as micro-pigs. That would be one hell of a nasty surprise!
(Also I guess they're expensive and high-maintenance. But they are SO SO SO SO CUTE.)

I have a pair of pants with faux back-pockets. By which, I mean they actually SEWED ON working flaps and working buttons on those flaps -- and NOTHING behind the properly-engineered and sewed-shut opening.
Otherwise VERY nice pants, but I swear if I'd noticed that detail when I tried them on, they would have gone into the Discard pile.

My sister's neighbor in Culver City has a pig that is about as tall as a lab, and yet still adorable. She's more clever than many people I run into, able to figure out any latch or clip on any door or purse (in her never-ending search for chewing gum, which she loves) and the flying leap she makes to get up onto her spot on the couch may be in my top 10 of adorable things I've seen animals do.
