Excel nerdiness - I learned how to concatenate this morning! What had been taking me multiple steps with adding and deleting columns and 2 formulas is now so easy. I also learned that F4 will turn C12 into $C$12 in a formula, so easy! I heart Excel.
I learned this function last year and it was sort of life-changing.
I've been meaning to say- to everyone who suggested LED lights as pre-teen age Christmas gifts, thank you!!! I had been feeling like I needed one more thing for dss, and h was unsure about the lights, but DSS LOVES them. He's shown them to every single person who's come to the house!

Did you know that there’s multiple F4 functions? Hitting it once locks the cell reference, hitting it twice locks the column reference, and hitting it a third time locks the row reference.
I seriously love excel! It’s funny that the class I hated the most in college actually ended up teaching me all the excel stuff that I now love. I wish I would have paid more attention.

I remember learning the concatenate function a few years ago. I was so excited about it I posted about it on FB. I'm reminded about the post every year and I get excited all over again LOL.

The guy I was training with showed me that part! I got to show him some cool filter things and we both nerded out lol. By the time I took Excel in college I already knew more than the prof through work experiences.

I learned on the DL yesterday that someone is trying to get some of my areas reassigned to them, which would make no structural sense. I just laughed to myself all day imagining this person plotting a coup against me. Little Fidel cap and military fatigues. Lol.

Good news: I started trying to walk a little more after eating after reading the pre-diabetes thread. I jumped on my Gazelle machine for about 2 minutes the last couple of mornings. It's not much, but it's two mins of getting my heart rate up that I wasn't doing. I swear I do more by GBCN advice than other sources lol.
I'm having so much trouble with that other person's promotion. I'm starting to second guess if this was a good career move...even though I didn't have a lot of choice, but feel defeated why bother getting more education and putting in so much if that doesn't matter?
Finally my poor cat has a bunch of tumors, but the doctor who did the ultrasound yesterday has a lot of ideas and did some research. DH and I had a big fight last night and now he has me feeling guilty that we didn't do enough to save our other cat a few years ago. Don't add something else to my plate, I feel horrible but it's done.

This made me lol. Now I'm picturing cat Fidel lol.
I was trying to scheme with my boss last night to strategically take over some duties of the person who's promoting as I'm trying to get to where she just promoted to. I was honest and said I know I'm new and stepping on toes, but this move here was for a reason. At least in my case it makes sense, I'm not trying to take work from someone in a different dept, but I feel a little bad because the other person who could take over the work has seniority...although he's younger (less work experience)...so I guess I need to calm myself. To this person though I have to wonder why you'd want to take on more work unless it would get you ahead? Do people actually have jobs with so little to do that they want more work? I'm jealous.
I love the word concatenate. I learned how to do it at an Excel workshop last year. Already forgot, but such a fun word.

I was an hour+ late for work this morning, which meant the library was closed for all that time. Did you know that if you set your alarm for PM, then it doesn't wake you up in the AM?
calamity , you are totally justified in being pissed. I'm pissed for you. But to be honest I'd request the kid be booted (as others stated yesterday) versus the no interaction.
They aren't going to kick him off the team based on my conversation with the coach on the phone yesterday.
We are nearing the end of the season, championships are next month. After that depending on the response we will move them. There is a Y that is a little further, but I don't even care.
Too bad-they'll lose two top point earners (my son swims too)
I would be really pissed if I was a mom. There is NO WAY I would be willing to "Wait this out" I know its not fair to your kids, and this is totally my opinion and I am not judging you for not doing it this way, but I would pull my kids now and tell every parent exactly why.

This literally just made me snort. I'm sorry you were late for work today.

Last one. My friend's are on their babymoon in Hawaii. I'm jealous. 2020 was supposed to be the year we go to Hawaii, but I just can't take that much time off, and we've had so many expenses already we won't be able to recoup in time. I need to un-follow so I don't see the beautiful pictures. Also jealous of such a big trip, most of my friends with kids who've babymooned have gone within 2 hours of home, if at all!

I am so sick of things breaking! A couple of weeks ago, it was our garage door spring. This past week was the dryer. DH and I fixed it on Sunday, but it broke again Monday. We finally fixed it for real (I hope!) today (I’m on my 6th load of laundry for the day now).
Tonight, I got all dressed and ready (even put on makeup!) to go to a get together for moms from my kid’s school. I got in our car and it wouldn’t start. DH was at DS1’s basketball game, so he couldn’t help. So I just came in the house and put my pajamas on and started another load of laundry. Womp womp. Oh well. Small talk is exhausting anyway.
I slipped on the ice yesterday and am very sore today. Cannot get into the chiro until tomorrow morning, at least it's before the 6-12 inches we are forecasted.
Why do I live here?!!!?
I slipped on the ice yesterday on my way to the pot office and bank. I looked ridiculous. Fell into my arm and both knees. Got back to the office from the mail run and the guys in the building next to us called over to make sure I was okay.
I'm hoping that the storm predicted for tomorrow and Saturday does show up. Half day of work tomorrow and I wouldn't have to work bingo at the bar on Saturday.
I did something to my knee last week, my supposed good knee, and now it's all jacked up. It gets better and I'll start thinking everything is healing and fine and then bam, I can't walk. Which is where I am at now. I thought on, let me elevate it for a bit and it'll get better but now I can't move off the love seat. I wish I knew how this got started, I don't even have a job where I am on my feet anymore. Maybe I've gained too much weight

It looks like it is coming. Depends where you are, some schools are closing early. It is also starting later than predicted.
I just sent a strongly worded email to the coaches regarding the whole swimming/harassment incident. I am still REALLY pissed. I want to make sure that it is all documented and I have asked that the kids have no interaction moving forward.
You better bet that I'm watching closely. I'm going to give that kids mom the stink eye every single time I see her.
Just thought of this, but if your club follows USA swimming safe sport, the pictures are a clear violation and he should leave the team.
majique, we are USA swimming. I mentioned this to the coach, but because of his age and because he was not previously attending 'safe sport Monday' they let him off with a warning. They are now going over all of the rules daily so that all the kids are getting the appropriate training.
@aellasbeth, I definitely considered pulling them now, but they have been working towards the championships all season and my DD has a chance to win the whole thing. I'm not going to punish her because of this kid, and it's too late in the season to switch teams.
Unfortunately this has turned into a very big lesson for all of us.

I respect this and I agree. Its just not black and white... its so frustrating for you and even for people like me who are part of caring community and care about you and by extension your kids. ITS JUST NOT FAIR!!!!!!!

I really appreciate everyone's feedback!
So I’m just reading all this after seeing your comment on my post. Wtf is with these shitty swim teams not handling huge issues appropriately.
Wow, calamity I am so sorry you are dealing with that. My jaw literally dropped when I read your post. I hope they address this and give you and your daughter whatever you guys need to feel safe again.

Man, that sucks. Our club has all swimmers and parents attend safe sport meeting before the season starts. Parents and swimmers then have to sign a form agreeing to abide by the safe sport rules and the consequences are laid out for violations. If these aren’t signed by either parents or swimmers, the swimmer isn’t allowed to practice until it is. I understand not wanting to pull them until after championships when they work so hard.

Really? Bars are always open! 😎
I am down by Mankato. Our schools cancelled yesterday for today. And the bar called this morning and they are closing today and tomorrow. I don't plan on leaving my house. And to stay in jammies all day.
