Rainbow Alert

I attended an intermediate Excel seminar yesterday, and I probably should have skipped straight to advanced. Nothing was covered that I hadn't already done, but more than that...one of the attendees was shockingly inexperienced.

Seriously, she didn't know about sort or filter; she didn't know about formulas, or linking worksheets and workbooks. She was completely lost. Every time, we would cover something she'd end up lost, "Could you go over that one more time, please?"

The most annoying part of the whole situation, was that she introduced herself be saying, "I'm Terra, and I, um, actually have taught the Excel basic course."

That my friends, would be one scary-ass, meaningless course. One the bright side, the instructor was fairly knowledgeable and scattered some very usefule tips and shortcuts throughout the day. That plus a nice, shiny certificate made it all worthwhile.

Unfortunately, I also ate lunch at a *questionable* Mexican restaurant and was most definitely experiencing some regret later that evening. They did, however, have a lovely water feature adjacent to the patio dining.
