    Excel wouldn’t stop converting sku numbers to date formats. IT guy was excited to share an “easy fix” for that with Open Office…

    When I saw his genuine excitement as he described Linux, plus the security it provided I realized, if I ran Linux I’d have the best support in the company. And I did.

    I eventually had to move on from Linux at work after 10yrs or so but it’s all I run at home.

    All because of Excel and those fucking date codes. Which yes, Open Office solved as advertised.

    And yes I know you don’t need Linux for that but it was a long time ago.
