Sometimes, I really hate computers. So, I'm working on this Excel report for work that I had to download off a client's website. It's kinda big. Like 20 some columns wide and 70 lines long. So, not that big. I've had bigger. I'm futzing with it, taking out the extraneous information and making it look pretty. So I'm at the point where I'm setting up the page settings (landscape, only 1 page wide, etc). After I finish with that, it suddenly gives me this error that the margins are too big or something, even though I never touched the margins, and the report is suddenly 1038 pages long. Yeah, OK. So, I try about 80 different combinations of cutting and pasting and setting up the page and NOTHING is working. Finally, I decide to restart my computer. Guess what? It works!! Why? I have no idea. But I spent like half an hour trying to get the damn thing to work the first time when all I had to do was restart. I've just been having computer issues all day. It couldn't find the server for awhile, which was bad. But now, everything seems to be fine and I'll just let it go.
On a happy note, only 2 DAYS until the season premiere of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. I'm waaaaaaaaaay too excited for my own good about this. Oh, well. :-)
