DON'T COPY IF YOU CAN'T PASTE!

Hello Awesome, Hope your day and week has been fine. I was wondering if you had joined our first online session to learn new skills on excel. I know you know and work with excel but we get to learn new skills and methods to resolving issues everyday...why not join in today if you desire to be excel-lent? http://excelgist.blogspot.com/?m=2 Allow me share the below with you. A famous inspirational speaker said: The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who wasn’t my wife. The audience was in shock and silence. He then added: “She was my mother.” A big round of applause and laughter followed! A very daring husband tried to crack this joke at home. After dinner, he said loudly to his wife in the kitchen: "The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who wasn’t my wife". Standing for a moment, trying to recall the second line of that speaker, by the time he gained his senses, he was on a hospital bed, recovering from burns of hot water! Moral Lesson: Don’t Copy, if you can’t Paste. In the work place today, a plus (+) or minus (-) sign in error could be damaging to your outlook as a company and as you read this mail, tens and hundreds of companies have suffered financial loss from "Numerical Diarrhea" following wrong "simple" copy and paste errors made by employees, down to some "honest mistakes" in data management. Some took decisive job actions against the employee while others borne the pain and moved on. For Fannie Mae, it resulted to a loss of $1.3 Billion.
