It takes half of a Dairy Milk Cadbury bar and half of a Caramello Cadbury bar to become proficient in Excel - just in case anyone needed to know! I spent a few hours at it - 3 total, but at least half of that time was spent toggled over to AOL to do email and read news. Or weather. Or anything, that wasn't Excel.
My problem is that I have been taught Excel, but don't use it. It's hard to remember the bells and whistles that way. I was originally a math major in college, so statistics and such are not a big deal to me. Remembering where to find some of the more arcane features of a program are more of a deal for me - they did not exist when I was learning more advanced math classes. I didn't even have a calculator when I did statistics. Imagine that!
The missing tape dispenser. Well, that is no longer missing. The night I wrote here mentioning that it was missing, I had a dream. I dreamed something vague about something being lost and being exactly where it was expected to me. I woke up crabby and confused. I knew where it had been, but had no idea where I had moved it. Hm, I did move it, right?
Then the light bulb went on. I went to where I had last seen it - which was on the stereo stand where I set it down while installing the programmable thermostat. Sure enough, it was there. It's brown, the stand is brown - somehow I walked past it a million times and didn't see it. My subconscious saw it on the middle shelf, I guess, and tossed it into my dream. Why couldn't it just yell at me? "Hey, stupid, you just walked past it for the hundredth time tonight! I can see it, why can't you?"
Brains are funny things, aren't they?

Sounds as if you have a pretty good one. Brain that is. I won't even mention how bad I am in math. Hope I find my little denium cell phone holder. I know I put it somewhere. Paula
so glad you found your tape dispenser:) now where are my mouse and cat ears and tails? LOL have a good evening hugs to the girls

LOL! How funny it was still there...I am pretty sure it would take much more chocolate that that for me. I don't think I even learned how to e-mail in three hours! Jae
Brains are funny things, aren't they? That depends on who brain it is! LOL I'm glad you found the tape. I have a few missing rolls that no one seems to know anything about. Have a good night.

I'd have to say my brain is pretty goofy and it doesn't do math ... at all. Maybe with a calculator, even with that it protests. As for the chocolate, you got off easy, I think I would've needed a whole lot more!

It probably tried to tell you and you probably told it to shut up - I'm guessin' :-)
very interesting our brains...but I just have to remember to use mine for good instead of evil! yum! I love Caramello bars! rose~
Let me know when you dream about my cell phone. I think my contract is about up.
