Clearly I'm not the first person to make this observation, but there's a very odd thing about being a person in the their late 40s, where I grew up being the "kid who programmed the VCR"

My elders don't know how to use Excel (etc). Neither do my younger colleagues, which leaves me in the odd position of "how the bloody hell did you do that?" after I've, like, done a vlookup.

Bonus is that I can do 2 minutes of work, then go and spend 50 minutes in the kitchen (I'm WFH), occasionally wiggle my mouse (oor-er!) just in case, and they'll assume that what I've just sent them was an hour of solid hardcore work.

I am not in a mind, right now, to correct them.
