was going to post some Excel VBA mysteries/irritations but really Excel VBA is one big bug in itself
nevertheless, it is the only thing I can do that nobody else in the office has ever wanted to dirty their brain by looking into
(most annoying this week: using Application.Workbooks.OpenText to open a text file, specifying all the parameters, except if the file extension is .csv Excel overrides them without telling you. So I'm going to have to write some documentation that says "look, I know the file is a .csv file, but please call it .txt or anything except .csv or it will load wrongly in a way that you may not notice until it's too late")
