    Don’t get me.wrong I really love excel and enjoy spending my days playing with it; but sometimes I’ll look at my work in a big picture context and don’t understand how I make so much money doing a totally made up thing that serves no practical purpose.

      If you tried working at your company for a week with no paperwork or spreadsheets you’d realize their necessity pretty quick. You are a bureaucromancer. Very little gets done, and none of it on budget, without you playing with spreadsheets all day.

      Soldiers might fight a war, but logistics wins one. It’s no different for business.
