The most challenging thing about today was … #blogjune

Thanks sis. The contemplating caterpillar suggested I share the most challenging thing about today.

? ... ?

Challenging: testing one's abilities.

Wanted :

I wanted a way to extract data from particular cells in multiple workbooks to give me an index to the content of those books (which are named with numbers).

Solved:

I had no prior background in VBA, but with a rough question google helped me find a macro by Ron deBruin that I guessed might do something like that... then I worked out how to edit the macro, then how to run it.

This big (2000 piece) old puzzle and my job have much in common.
(The puzzle is called "The Country Town" by Tower Press. (c.1960). )

But the post title is also true, #blogjune may arguably be the most challenging: it is taking longer, has looser parameters, and its hard to know when its done.

Payback, sis:

What makes some challenges enjoyable, but others unpleasant.

Modern Romance and the Malcontent: Survey for my sister.

For a project at TAFE my sister is focussing on modern romance (not the genre - the real life thing), the history of romance (chivalry), what do women and men want in their romantic relationships and a section of how to's or suggestions.

She asks if we will be so kind as to fill out a survey for her.

Unfortunately, due to the limitations of survey monkey she can't ask more than 10 questions,  so if there is something more you'd like to say on the subject - any opinions you have - then please email her [waterspiritdragon |at| hotmail \dot/ com] with your thoughts; or comment here and I'll pass it on. Hopefully, this survey will give her an idea if her thoughts and feelings in this area are expressed by a wider audience or if she's standing on an opinionated island waving her own little flag.

This survey is for MEN and WOMEN.  She needs an equal number of both.

For this survey to be useful - she needs as many responses as possible.  She's hoping for 1,000+, so please feel free to disseminate the link:
