The Spreadsheet

I had a chance to do something today that was pretty different from the other tasks I have done. Monica entrusted me to do a BWC dispersal expense spreadsheet.

This spreadsheet was indepth and time consuming and I thoroughly enjoyed doing it. I had to expense a claim that was almost two years in the making. I did not know my skills in spreadsheets were that good.
As a librarian I use Publisher way more. My Publisher skills are phenomenal. I am a whiz at fliers. I use Excel only for reporting stats at the library. Along with all my other transition activities I began to notice that Publisher within the Human Resource field is not as necessary as Excel, so I bought a book and began to practice. Which brings me to yesterday.
Without fail I was able to accomplish creating a spreadsheet and presented it to the HR Director (Monica). I think she was pretty impressed.
