When I first started that job I accidentally corrupted all
the team’s spreadsheets. We’re talking
ALL of them – forecasts, budgets, rolling forecasts, actuals, P&L
Summaries, everything. Didn’t mean
to. It just happened. Something about having two separate Excel
programs opened at the same time and copying from one version to another
corrupted all the hidden macros, which crashed the format.
My boss was pissed.
When he asked me what I did and how I did it, I couldn’t think of
anything to say except that I was testing them.
He said, “Testing them?” and I
said, “Yeah, I had to make sure the spreadsheets were idiot-proof. Turns out they’re not.”
