Karen from Accounting, Please Step Away from the Spreadsheet

Karen, I love that you’re passionate about Excel. Truly. But when I asked for a simple expense report, you sent me a file that could double as a NASA launch simulation. Fifteen hidden tabs, color-coded cells that change when I hover, and a formula that somehow references itself like it’s stuck in an existential crisis.
Tab 7 has a dolphin clip art. Tab 12 is password-protected, but the password is “KarenRocks2020” (we know, Karen). And I swear one of your pivot tables is self-aware now.
Look, I get it. You think you’re making things “easier.” But easier for who? Because for me, opening that file is like wandering into a hedge maze where the Minotaur is just another nested VLOOKUP.
One day we’ll all snap, and that day will be called “Quarterly Close.
Post your vent, the resignation letter you wish you could send, a rant about "Steve" in IT, or any other office drama. We promise to laugh with you and not judge, unless it's about your reply-all, then we judge a little.
