Excel told me to do it
This psychic chart says that I will buy a new laptop in the 3rd week of March after a tax rebate. It predicts I will be happy and not worry about maintaining a terminal-Tinkerbell.
It’s amazing how clever Excel is at telling us the way things will be.
I call it the ‘Excel Oracle Effect” (eOe). Excel has predicted that I will be using it to solve 73% of the tricky questions in my life. The first 9% of these will be covered in the next project: a ‘boyfriend application generation and classification’ chart.
Pie chart or Scattergram? What do you think?

Hahaha, I love Excel. It runs my life, too.
That’s so sad… I believe in Tinkerbell. How old is she now?
Oo, Ooo, oo. Piechart!!! so visually satisfying.
Nooo, wait, Scattergram, because then I can see the data points.
Oh, I miss data. Law can be so boring somedays. Not like watching a gelatin solidify or watching DNA separate in the gel. Aaah, data.
I love it! Excel definitely needs a “magic 8-ball” type of function.
