Techy Challenged

I am technologically challenged ,but I make up for it in enthusiasm and a general refusal to allow these robots, ahem computers, to beat me.  But MS Excel is killing me, specifically pivot tables, without which I survived all of 32 years just fine until now, but without which now I wander aimlessly through my nonsensical spreadsheets trying to make sense of my gibberish.  And now it is midnight and I am working because I talked too much today at work and didn't get enough done so I brought my work home much to the dismay of my husband who I think secretly loves it because he gets to play video games without me complaining.

Anyway, so I am working.  And I spent hours inputting data with the intent to create a certain sort of pivot table out of multiple pivot tables.  Which - guess what - doesn't work.  Or else I couldn't get it to work and Helpy McVideoGame in there just told me it's really a pain in the ass and doesn't really work right, especially if you're not an Excel Whiz (which I am not), so I gave up and started over.  So I spent another hour inputting new data into a new spreadsheet because the way I did it originally was not conducive to having to starting over using existing spreadsheet.     Then I made said desired pivot table and it worked beautifully, thank the Internet.  Yay.  Was seriously proud of myself.  Creating a pivot table that works triggers the same delicious feeling I used to get when I would finish an English paper - sweet nerdy satisfaction.   So then I went to email it to myself at work, all proud and giddy and rewarding myself with a glass of wine.  Only I just got a new email address at work and I sort of forgot exactly what it is already.  So I thought well I'll email it to myself at Yahoo and get it tomorrow from Yahoo on my work PC.  But then I have been sitting here and typed this entire blog entry and it is - Wait let me look -   still uploading the attachment to my email.  Which is not right.  I mean it's been like several minutes.  I'm a fast typer but not that fast.  Still spinning. 

This is total Bullshit!   So yeah.  I'm techy challenged.  Or else my computer is.  Can a piece of technology be techy challenged?  I think YES.
