Basically, data siloing in Excel is a cyclical problem of management either not paying attention to, or not wanting to spend money on, how their departments are using technology.
They don't pay attention to it, so they don't give their teams centralized tools, which makes it harder for teams to see what other teams are doing, which leads to dropped communication, data entry errors, and duplicated work.
"But nobody wants to pay for centralized tools." Well, yeah. Duh. But you end up paying more with Excel silos. You pay it in non-IT labor time, but you also pay for it in IT time because eventually you're going to grow to a point where Excel silos are unworkable and now it's just going to be that much harder to clean up that data.
"But nobody wants a bespoke Access database that only one neckbeardy IT guy knows how to support." Also true. Which is why for the vast majority of common business operations, there's some off-the-shelf software package, industry-specific software package, or some software-as-a-service that will do the gist of whatever those Excel spreadsheets are doing.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

Also, I saw The Grand Budapest Hotel this weekend, and it's phenomenal.
My only gripe is the denouement, but take that away and the movie is A++.
Oh, sure, Grand Budapest Hotel has a bad ending and it's okay, but when Mass Effect had a bad ending, all hell broke loose.
double standards! >: (
There's some remarkable similarities in the endings of the two, in terms of being out of place and confusing and involving the genocide of a race of space-faring robots.
Nah, it's this band that pitchfork splooges over and lots of my hipster associates were all ga-ga about. I resisted, but they kept getting so much fellatio I decided to check em. They did NOT meet expectations.
Lol podly you were tryin 2 be 2 cool

Are there any infomercials that aren't some kind of swindling chicanery?
I hate boiling water, and my 'as seen on tv' pasta boat, is fucking amazing. pasta in the microwave, no fuss no muss. I dont have time to sit and watch a pot of water boil.
I've found your problem.
They never boil when you do that!
(seriously you don't have to watch pasta, why are you doing that)
(I know, that was the joke)
I honestly have a problem with boiling water, it just takes too long. Do you put your pasta in the cold water then just throw it on till its done? When I do boil, its boil->salt the water->it quickly boils again->throw in pasta. then wait for it to cook. With the pasta boat, or microwave in general its, water + pasta in plastic container, put in microwave for 13 minutes, drain and you are done. I dont have to fuck with it and I can time it much easier with the rest of my meal.
Like, I love mashed potatoes, but I hate boiling water so I never make them.

So I guess the meeting my wife had with her boss worked because the developer just sat her down and showed her how to fix the problem using VB. Your way is probably better and she is very appreciative of the advice, but the fact that this person actually took the time to communicate is a huge change so she's just going with it. Once communication is improved and management is assured her credibility isn't in question I am sure she will look into making this stuff work better and smarter, but for now this is enough. Thanks for the help.
Wait do people actually care about college GPA anywhere in a job interview? Its the kind of thing I'd internally laugh at if brought up repeatedly in an interview
I never put it on my resume yet it came up in every interview I did. Most of the time I was chided afterwards for not putting it on my resume since it was "a big deal" to them and could have hurt my chances had it not come up in the interview.
They cant get this without transcripts right? Are they actually going to do this? If I am a grown ass man looking for a non entry level position, I'm really not sure how I am going to answer that question when I have ~8 years experience. I doubt I could tell them what my degree was for at that point.
I leave it blank whenever I have to fill out one of those things. You gotta draw a line somewhere. No one will ever look or care or anything.
Lot of employers have asked for my transcripts after hiring me.

To be fair, "managing data" wasn't the same thing ten or twenty years ago as it is now.

Glad it all worked out for her.

will, homegirl and i have been watching a ton of frasier these last few months
and humor still stands up fantastically
but those suits
oh my god
huge lapels

weah the eighties and nineties were a terrible time for suiting. even today if you're picking thru thrift store suiting you need to be real careful of the lapels and shoulder pads.
like the 70s stuff is obvious but the 80s stuff might look fine - like a 50s or 60s coat - until you try it on and you look like max headroom with pleated balloon trousers.

And it's not bad, either.
