In my previous post, Science of Happiness and Potential, Shawn Achor speaks about practical things we can do to increase our happiness baseline. It's impossible to be happy all the time, but we can raise our baseline for what we consider happiness to be. One of the many ways of doing so is writing down five items you are thankful for in the morning for thirty days. Here is day one..

Excel Tip #3: Why does my VLOOKUP return #N/A?
Mar 13, 2011 -
VLOOKUP FAIL
Have you ever had an Excel formula not work, but you've checked the formula multiple times already? You are certain that the formula is correct, but excel returns back #N/A or a blank. Do you wonder what is going on?
Due to Excel's stupidity, the format of your data you want returned has to match the format of the data you are pulling from. From this is not the case, your vlookup will return a bunch of retarded #N/As or blanks.
For example, let's say you are looking for the purchase order 6555 in the table below, and you want to return the amount from column 3 of that table. For one reason or another you may have extracted the below information from a PDF by saving it into notepad and then using the Text to Excel conversion to convert it to Excel. Somewhere along the way the format of the data went haywire.
Today is your lucky day, there is a solution. Find a blank cell and type in any number. Then copy the cell and paste special over the problem cells using past 'values' and 'multiply. Now the number that Excel though was just text (or some other crap) is now a number that vlookup understands.

Question our lifestyle and how we live
Mar 10, 2011 -
I'm sitting on my bed in a hotel far far away from home. It's another one of those business trips. Glamorous to those looking in, but less than desirable for the one on the trip. Those of you who travel all the time, know where I am coming from. Just found out I'm working the weekend, without pay obviously, because we don't get overtime pay for anything.
Why am I living this lifestyle? I have too many attachments - money for one. Prestige another. Though that is fading quickly as I learn I'm trading my life for something that ultimately has a negative net effect on my morale. I have to take that leap and just let go.
