Holds true for Co-Pilot as well.
Yes, I am making a presentation / chart / pivot table / sandwich. I know where you are if I need you (which I don't). Stop begging me to use you, it's unbecoming.

Having a day of being pulled in about six different directions by work issues, all of which conflict with each other and are blocking me from doing actual job. People giving me issues are then asking why I'm behind schedule with my actual tasks. I just want to yell "please all just fuck off!"...

Best explanation of Co-Pilot I've heard thus far:-
"It's like that guy who won't stop trying to talk to you in a bar, who won't take a polite 'no thanks' for an answer and near whom you absolutely wouldn't leave your drink unattended".

So tempting to just completely disengage with the news at the moment, as the world just seems to be out of control and it's not good for mental health. Feels like choosing to be uninformed, but there's just too much happening to process, and so little of it in our control anyway, so...why bother?

Not really fussed about NYE any more, but must be said the amount of back garden fireworks going off across town was impressive. I can only hope everyone started the new year with the same number of fingers they ended the old one with.

Binge watching Columbo box set, and just had episode with Leslie Nielsen playing lawyer boyfriend of a murder suspect. Really, REALLY hard not to project Frank Drebin onto him!

Not doing Christmas as such, as basically opted out a good few years ago. Am however doing a DVD boxset of the complete Columbo.

Today has been brought to you by XLOOKUP, UNIQUE and the joys of Goto > Special > Blank > Delete entire row.
UNIQUE and MATCH combine very nicely when wanting to review new data for any items not in a mapping table.
Fun!

Back from a really nice day at Klub K9 in Nottingham. Been a while since I've been at a pup event, and brain tried to throw spanner in the works, but really helped recharge me and get me back into the swing of things. Shall definitely go again at some point.

Not exactly "Sunday evening wind down, got work in the morning" sort of music, but there you go. Seems to work for my brain somehow. Seem to be drifting from metal to more hardcore / neocrust waters of late, so any suggestions welcome.

Stack of OSDM-worship bands out there these days, but can't recall any doing it as well as this. Great mix of Nihilist, Carnage and Autopsy that sounds like it came through my letterbox on a TDK C90 in 1990. Artwork also on point!

So tiring to be the person who finds issues caused by errors and lack of control elsewhere, only to then have the people managing those areas pressuring me to implement a fix or explain to their seniors what the problem is. How about no? I found it, but you own it.

Not sure what I love more about this - Adam Riches as Sean Bean ("Britain's muddiest actor") or Sean Lock breaking Jimmy Carr.

Back from very enjoyable (if cold) five days in Vienna for husband's birthday. Nice place and loads of public transport. U-bahn feels very like subsurface lines in London. Karlsplatz up there with Chatalet in Paris for confusing the living hell out of non-locals. Vegan schnitzel actually a thing.

Have a variety of possible route choices from office back to Euston, but tonight was one of those times where every decision I made was wrong, to the point it just became funny. Broken escalators, service disruption signalling issues meant it took an HOUR just to get to Euston!
