Most common & most unusual forms of Excel abuse?

I can't even make the Summit this year, so I'm definitely not going to that!

Notes? Dear GOD! I have just left a job that used Notes. I even asked in interview for this job what the email tool used was. I would have considered turning it down if the answer was Notes.

However we use Thunderbird which doesn't seem a whole lot better. Different bad, but seemingly bad none the less.

I voted for Should have used Powerpoint.

You guys are really cheering me up!

Have you not used it before ?

I've not used it myself but my wife did at her last place... when I saw the interface without knowledge of what it was I actually presumed it was an in-house build... if you've ever seen say screenshots of say Championship Manager 1994 you'll have a pretty good idea of what it looks like !

I used it about 10 or so years ago, so am hoping it has improved since then! If not, I may resign and go freelance.

I just always assumed it was a poor implementation of it here but if it's like this everywhere then nope it hasn't improved one bit

Yeah. You totally need to resign.

I last used Notes regularly 10 years ago. I still have palpitations when i think what a horrendous system it was (I didn't know any better at the time though).

I then used it very briefly about 5 years ago. It hadn't changed and was still just as irritating as ever it was.

I hope you won't be using Excel to write your letter of resignation...

I will be using Excel to compose it, sing it (embedded copy of Jonny Paycheck's "Take this job and shove it") and mail it to my employers!
