Confessions of a Genius Co-worker |
This blog is dedicated to Connie, a woman whose moments of complete stupidity pass over our shared cubicle wall like little paper airplanes of blithering ignorance. A single middle-aged accountant with cougar-ish tendencies, when Connie isn't asking how many pieces of quinoa there are in a cup or messing up our company's credit rating, she can mostly be found singing along to Lady Gaga's Bad Romance in a voice just loud enough to hear. From the next building. And before you ask: Names have been changed to protect the functionally useless. |
| Connie: | Hey, you created the expense claim form, right? |
| Me: | Yes, I did. |
| C: | How am I supposed to see what I'm writing? |
| Me: | What? You should just type in the cells and it's just...there.... |
| C: | But there all these bubbles in the way. I can't see past them. |
| Me: | Bubbles? |
| C: | Big bubbles in the way. With instructions in them. |
| Me: | Connie, look at the top of the screen. Does it say "Expense form" or does it say "Expense form instructions"? |
| C: | Expense form instructions. Why? |
| Me: | You need to use that form as a guide. Download the one called "Expense form" and use that. Use the instructions as a reference. |
| C: | I thought about doing that but having two spreadsheets open at the same time confused me. |
