spreadsheets. And curiously invisible dodgy cells that become apparent only after the fact. And cashflows, cashflows, cashflows. And converting millions to thousands. And making illogical assumptions sound perfectly reasonable. And then trying to translate into numbers. And trying to figure out formulas. And forgetting to stretch formulas across the entire project horizon after figuring them out. And horizons that move. And switching between countless versions of the same spreadsheet. And projecting forty years into the future. And then doing it all over again, repeatedly, until I get the NPV that won't get my head rolling. And being extremely careless in the meantime because after a while 4s look like 9s and 7s like 2s and dots look like commas and the subtotal row looks like the total-total row and everything JUST BECOMES ONE BIG UGLY CELL.
Beertime.
