An Anomaly on the Horizon

You know, there is an Excel championship, and you can compete for it. It would be real strange to just jump in and try for it. (pic)

Being that life sometimes feels like a circus, I decided to go get a ticket and try to have some fun. Granted I am taking a class for excel right now and that it is something interesting to have a on a resume or just go do. Competing on how to manipulate data to get the answers to questions. I like puzzles should be a fun time, and if I can win the game of tomes for writing it should be something that is fully possible to just have a lot of W’s for the year.

It would be a weird one, but it would also supply the one thing that makes the little chaos goblin in me smile. I hate how in some competitions people get serious to the point they think everything is a National Emergency and will do anything to win. There have been multiple times in life where that has been seen whether in Magic The Gathering or YuGiOh to something like sports or conventions rules. People need to know when I think the rules are against one side or the other there is a particular part of my psyche that makes me want to what could be called a ‘stress test’ on the rules.

Where things could be interesting is that if people do not take it as serious as a national emergency you can make a lot of good friends and moments in these competitions. Anywho, I joined the competition for the world cup of excel. That should be a bit of fun for later on in the year, and as classes have to be taken with Excel,might as well be good at it. Found out there is a collegiate challenge so joined that as well, and who knows if it works out well there may be a finals appearance for me. It would be hilarious just because there are a lot of super serious types, and sometimes one needs to be reminded to enjoy these moments. Nothing would be better then showing up well.

Have you entered a competition on a whim? How did it go?

Stay Strong.
