Today was to be a simple day.

A bit of mailmerging and out go a few thousand bits of information selling our NHS training services but oh no….

Firstly you find all the data spread across 13 worksheets and so it needs combining and then you find the format for each is slightly different, so you have to rearrange everything before you combine and then you find that there is no commonality in the naming terms, so you have to create some before you can sort them. Get the picture?

Some might say that perhaps I wasn’t specific enough when I delegated the data collection task but ‘nope’ because I sat everyone down and went through every last bit to make sure this didn’t happen. It seems I’d have been better save the time, let them hash it and utilise that the time for all of the above!

Tomorrow’s another day!
