I cannot articulate how perfect this synopsis is.

I paid dearly for mine. Compound interest is a bitch.

I’ve done some seriously stupid shit in excel, mostly due to it being the only tool I had. By the time I handed the project off to someone else for maintenance/feature creep, there were VLOOKUP ranges spanning dozens of columns. VLOOKUP doesn’t care what column the target is named, only the offset from the beginning of the range. So being able to calculate CA minus W is pretty handy.

Yes, the project should have been a database. But these things happen when skinflint company meets annoyed amateur: you get a sprawling VBA abomination that, despite making actual developers want to choke a bitch, still works orders of magnitude better than the previous system.

It depends on how far north you are and whether you believe central Jersey exists.

The lower left map was clearly drawn by someone who thinks they’re New York, for example. It’s understandable that they don’t want Toms River, so they pawn it off as south Jersey. But actual south Jersey doesn’t want it either. Toms River basically proves that central Jersey exists.

Genius, pure genius.
