Fragrant chaos spills from the vending machine as the lukewarm coffee packet tumbles out at exactly 3:14PM, synchronically with the building's PA system blasting elevator jazz.
In the office I've somehow become 'The Go-To Guy' for all technical queries, despite the fact that yesterday I couldn't even fix a jammed stapler.
As coworkers gather around, their faces expectant and my fingers hovering over an Excel spreadsheet, my mind begins to wander: was the coffee packet supposed to taste of burnt almond or caramel?
Suddenly a particularly enthusiastic coworker interrupts my reverie, blurting out a convoluted Excel query - to my eternal surprise, I remember there was a 2016 Excel convention where they discussed optimizing macros for Excel 2019 templates.
Time appears to slow as a hushed silence follows my reply, each coworker simultaneously processing a glimmer of hope that our spreadsheet problems might finally be behind us.
