  • Was working in a deli department of a grocery store. I think it was my second or third week there, and i was slicing balogna for a customer. Went to peel some of the casing off and got the tip of my thumb instead. Still think the lady who unkindly yanked my stitches out at the urgent care caused the lil flap to come off. It was 2009 and I’m actually impressed i got some tactile feeling back through the scar. I swear it fucks with the touch screen though.







  • I love excel. So much so that I grabbed a handful of for dummies books about it, abaorbed them, and moved on to vba.

    It’s not that it is necessarily easy, but moreso brutally satisfying to be able to swear at a worksheet triumphantly once you’ve wrangled something obscene.

    Currently refreshing with 2019 power programming in vba and two older ones, sql for dummies+ crystal reports for dummies. Crystal reports is goddamn brutal to learn, but fuck is it good.

    It’s also kinda fun trying to explain sql tables to people. For context, I’m in accounting but got real tired of all the manual formatting shit I used to have to do. It set me down the path to figure out why things sucked so hard. It’s coming in handy at my new job. I might eventually haggle for a custom title of Spreadsheet Developer lol

    Also, archive.org has a bunch of reference books on miscellaneous computer stuff. It’s where I grabbed most of mine. They had a lawsuit recently so some of the books are unavailable but hopefully op can dig up something useful.
