I think I worked with this guy

Oh, wait, he did it as a joke.

No, the guy I worked with did shit like this and was serious about it. Years later I'm still dealing with his absolute *MESS* of spreadsheets littered around my network.

He "developed" a few "automated" analysis tools, for instance. Previously they were compiled by hand taking half a day a week. Using his "automated" tools, it now takes 2 days AND has the added benefit of the numbers sometimes not adding up ( due to excel being excel and him not having any notion of what programming actually means ).

I drink a lot.
