Just Sayings

I think I need a minion at work! Are we need better tracking tools that don't involved transfering numbers from spreadsheets to spreadsheets.

Minion! Oh Minion! Darn, they're never around when you need them :)

And I have a better tool for moving numbers from spreadsheet to spreadsheet. But it mainly involves storing the numbers in another system that spreadsheets can link to. Or may I suggest interns?

Have you thought about using a Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki) for this sort thing?

Also, as [livejournal.com profile] fenicedautun mentionned, storing the numbers somewhere that the spreadsheets link to (like a database) might make things easier.

sorry, I think I'm already your wife's minion. You'll have to find your own.

4:31am! Did you bother going to bed when you got home?

I think that your timestamp is screwed up. My post says 11:31 pm to me

Do the spreadsheets have to be separate documents, or can they be different sheets in the same book? Because then you can link them.

I'll have to put that as a goal on my resume, when I go to look for a civilian job again: To be a professional minion for an Overlord worthy of the title.
