i can’t keep pretending to understand excel

Okay, seriously, is anyone else pretending to be an Excel whiz but internally screaming? My manager just asked for a 'VLOOKUP' and I swear I just nodded confidently while my brain went full buffering mode. Adulting is a scam and this spreadsheet software is proof. I'm one 'pivot table' request away from faking my own death. Send help or just confirm I'm not the only one. #ExcelStruggles #CorporateLie #AdultingIsAScam #SOS

NO CAP! 😭 I swear every time someone says 'just throw it in Excel,' I automatically lose 5 IQ points. My go-to is always just making the columns bigger so it *looks* like I did something complicated. We're all in this fake it 'til you make it struggle together. #Relatable #ExcelTrauma

LMAO! 'Pivot a table' sounds like a medieval torture method. My only Excel skill is knowing how to make a cell background yellow. You are SO not alone. There should be a support group. 'Excel-Anon' anyone? 😂
