Helped my husband, who programs in C++, C#, MATLAB, and whatever you use to program on chips/circuit boards with an Excel formula syntax. I am over devoted to this tool.

WuMargaret OP ,

@dillyd SUMIF, which I guess is a function. He had the range to be summed and the range with the “if” criteria reversed.

7yo: "Paul!!!!!"

Me: "Coming!"

7yo: "Paul!!!"

Me: "Okay, yes? What's up?"

7yo, handing me a console: "Paul! You have to try this level."

Me: "Oh, uh, okay, I guess...'

Me: (Plays for 15 seconds)

7yo, sighing dramatically: "Paul, if you have to play that game, can you not do it in my room?"

WuMargaret ,

@pjf Ok, so now “Gigantic” by the Pixies is in my head. Part of it goes “Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul.”

WuMargaret ,

@dillyd @pjf Yeah. I think that song is about boning.

    @dillyd My spouse always talks about those when we go by places like that. He doesn’t particularly love his work, but he loves talking about electrical shit.

    Current status - too damn cold at Mr. 10’s soccer practice.

    WuMargaret OP ,

    @dillyd Thank you! Just my bug-eyed old self. But I love the jacket I have on, and I have had that hat for maybe 20 years.

    One of those days when I feel like I could be easily replaced by AI.

    WuMargaret OP ,

    @dillyd Haha. Thanks. I feel like all I do is complain about how much I suck. lol

    Well, I just signed up to volunteer for a practical support org. I haven’t been of service much lately, and that’s no good for my depression.

    WuMargaret OP ,

    @dillyd Awe thank you. I’m not in recovery for anything, but I grew up around the recovery community and I find the 12 steps useful at times, especially being of service. That said, I think there’s a lot of BS in the 12 steps if you take them too seriously.

    Tomorrow I get to do a reference call for a former direct report who I really liked a lot. She was a hard worker and very skilled.

    WuMargaret OP ,

    @dillyd It is. I was managing a dev team working in ed tech and I had her leading our charge to improve accessibility of our tools.

    WuMargaret OP ,

    @dillyd And it was interesting because I am not a dev, but she wasn’t aware of a lot assistive tech like screen readers that I was familiar with.

    Are there therapists who specialize in helping children who are stressed out giving tech support to their parents?

    My mom is a mathematician. She can program w/ punch cards. But, she & Dad just don't keep up with tech anymore. Drives me nuts.

    Gave my dad an iPhone for Christmas. They HATE it. Probably would hate any phone. Now they say it's recording their conversations.🙄

    Dad holds down the buttons on the side when he picks it up. Activates the voice assistant... they think it's a hacker.

    WuMargaret ,

    @futurebird Our local wellness center is always looking for ideas for classes, and I feel like some sort of elder tech class would be great.
