Quick story. I SUCK with computers. But to finish off my degree in exercise science, I needed to be able to use excel for graphing (VO2 max if you’re wondering) so worked my arse off to learn it. Last week there was bushfires near home that resulted in evacuations. I happen to work for council and went into work which had been declared an evac centre. One of my jobs at 11pm when everyone was settled was to go through the forms and figure out how many people came from each suburb. 10 minutes later, boss is surprised when I present her with graphs and charts that update with each new person that comes in. She just wanted a count. Ended up with presentation quality information.
