I work in the learning and development department of a large multi-national petro-chemical company.

It is slightly weird environment for me to work in because I cannot drive.  My only experience behind the wheel of a car was last week when I tried to run down an ex-lover who had earlier disobeyed me. I found the whole steering thing to be incredibly traumatic, because I soon discovered that it is nigh on impossible to drive when you cannot drive, particularly when you are using your best swear words whilst simultaneously gesticulating wildly.  And tis even harder when you cannot get the fucker out of first gear.

Anyway, the evil overseers at (insert name of petrochemical company here) decided that I was not entirely competent using Excel (also known as Satan’s own spreadsheet) and that for the benefit of quicker global destruction, I should go and spend two days at an intensive Introduction to Excel course.

Fuck me, I cannot begin to tell you how much fun it was, quite simply because it wasn’t fucking fun at all.

Did you know that if you use the control button while you click you can select multiple cells at the same time. Well no, neither did I.

And that dear reader is the result of my learning.

As a self taught idiot savant who can even make pivot tables, I should have probably thought of this earlier. But hey, I know I am worth the $800 which was spent teaching this middle aged dog a new trick.

Why next week I might even have a go at Word.
