Therapy. And reading and practicing Stoicism.
Plus an intentional effort to put myself as the first 51% instead of just treating myself as the last 5%.
Also, a couple of very significant failures that left me bruised, yet still going. Which proves that no matter how much I do, I won’t ever get done. So that’s been a mindset shift that allows me not to feel guilty for living life and not getting so caught up in the details.
Interesting… I doubt the representative we talked to would understand this and am unsure if we could access it without whatever address they have on file but will ask next time I call. Thanks!
I’m trying to figure out what an achievement complex is - I feel like I could use some of those.
I have more of what you might call an avoid-and-hope-it-goes-away complex.
Is that like the Bill Gates 100 dollar bill scenario?
Someone just sent me a spreadsheet with over 100 tabs, including 49 hidden tabs. Yikes.
assume we all open every workbook sent to us and first check for hidden tabs? 49 is insane
How do you check for hidden tabs?
I don’t use Excel much.
people who “mark themselves safe” from catastrophic events on facebook are on my long list of pet peeves of annoyance when these people live in manhattan, and the chance they were in brooklyn during this subway shooting during the morning commute is therefore pretty close to zero. do people just want attention and to feel like they are a part of something that they weren’t involved with at all and nobody really has a good reason to believe they would have been there to even wonder? i get it if someone actually lives in brooklyn or works there and marked themselves safe, but otherwise, you just want attention.
Press and release keys in this order:
Alt
O
H
U
If nothing comes up, then there are no hidden sheets.
To hide the selected sheet(s), press and release keys in this order:
Alt
O
H
H
Or you could just right click on a tab and see if the word unhide is grayed out or clickable. Although that doesn’t help with Very Hidden sheets. Not sure if yours does.
Or is this one of those tricks, like “Find the hidden screen saver in Windoze. Just press alt-F4!”?
I post those kinds of tips at GoAccountant.
I have a long rant about NWS warnings and locations, but this from today more than annoys me - and it’s from the Memphis NWS, which for a number of years has done things I think are stupid.
Every other NWS office uses language that says “a severe storm capable of producing a tornado” when rotation is radar-indicated. That’s accurate. It might be capable, it might actually be doing it, but there’s no confirmation by a spotter and so the language needs to follow what’s going on.
Memphis, though? Nope - let’s just charge out there with wording that makes it sound like a tornado is ongoing! If rotation is radar-indicated but has not confirmed by a visual sighting, then there’s not a tornado. Therefore, saying a storm is producing a tornado in this instance is patently wrong. If a tornado has been visually confimed, then the language would [should] read “a confimed tornado was located near …”
Yeah, especially when it’s something like “a drive by shooting claimed the lives of two gang-bangers in [super ghetto neighborhood].” And a [super rich] classmate who lives in [super high end neighborhood 10 miles away] feels the need to mark themselves safe.
Yeah, I wasn’t like even remotely worried.
Of course… maybe I am not the best judge. My Dad’s house was actually hit by a tornado and I didn’t realize it for several days. I’d called and left a message, but he didn’t respond which isn’t especially unusual. We only talk every two or three weeks or so. But actually the reason he hadn’t been in touch was because the (land) phone lines were down and they had no electricity to charge their cell phone.
He and my stepmom were totally fine though. Just had a damaged house. So I’m not sure if I’m a bad daughter for not realizing this or not. I’m not sure that my stepsister figured it out / got super worried about them either.
FWIW, my brother’s home was also damaged by a tornado and I didn’t know for years. He never mentioned it and was often moving apartments at that time. If he’d wanted me to know he would have told me.
Apparently, when Mrs. Hoffman is too busy to make me breakfast so I decide to do eggs on the stove, then get stuck on something at work and forget I was cooking eggs and they burn, that’s somehow my fault.
I’m thinking if Mrs. Hoffman wasn’t busy, she could have cooked eggs for me and avoided all of this trouble. Maybe that’s just me, though.
Eggs cook so quickly that I’ve never left them in the middle of cooking to do something else.
This is a joke, right?
