It's challenge time!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

Yesterday our office assistant was working through a Udemy course on pivot tables and called me over because something wasn't working as described. I was able to confirm that the video instructor was going too fast (hurray for pause and jump back buttons) and I also learned a new Excel function (PROPER). I hope our assistant felt as competent as she is by the time she had to leave for the day!

oooh new excel functions always make me feel so SMRT! The trick (for me) is remembering them when I actually need them again :D

And yay for validating your assistant!

I work from home, but very rarely seem to actually take advantage of this, to get household chores done during the weekday - but this week I actually stripped both beds, washed, dried, FOLDED AND PUT AWAY all the sheets and pillow cases and switched to fall/winter bedding!

I also finally (since I had the sheets off) remembered to pull out the new zip up mattress cover for the guest bedroom and wrassle the mattress into it, so that is one thing off my checklist!

Last night I also started opening and dumping a bunch of expired and gross cans of soda that have been sitting in the corner, forgotten, since 2021 and 2022. Soda does go "bad" folks! I did that whilst waiting for my dinner to heat up, so yay for multitasking!

Oh wow, does soda go bad. I remember finding some expired lemonade (7Up/Srite in the USA) in a cupboard at work post-Covid. I poured it out so I could recycle the plastic bottles. The stink was unbelievable.

I worked on retraining the dog to walk nicely, which she apparently forgot while i've been away.

Well done, I'm glad she was receptive to re-training!

I had a nice bunch of tinies, and I think my marker board art copy turned out well this time.

Yay, that sounds lovely!
