Confessions of a Corporate Captive (Who Escaped)

💀 Rock Bottom: The Clipboard Cage

It started, as all great workplace tragedies do, in the pits of monotony.

I was stuck in copy/paste hell—repeating a soul-numbing 30-minute task over and over again like some cursed productivity gremlin. It was tedious. It was error prone. It was the kind of workflow that makes you question your career and the invention of Excel.

🧙‍♀️ The Spell That Changed It All

Then one day, something snapped—not me, but the chains of inefficiency.
I opened Excel, stared into the abyss of repetitive misery, and summoned a macro. ✨

One script later, that 30-minute ordeal took 2 minutes. Foolproof. Fast. Fabulous.
And that spreadsheet? Still in use 12 years later.
A legacy of efficiency. A spreadsheet that refused to die. A mic drop in .xlsm.

🔥 The Tech Ascent

But I didn’t stop there. Oh no.

I levelled up:

• 🧾 Word mail merges tamed with conditional logic and zero formatting tears
• 🎞️ PowerPoint decks turned into storytelling machines with timelines, motion, and mirth
• 📬 Outlook macros that automated the impossible
• 👩‍💻 Web development to get around bad intranets and restrictive systems
• and currently my work focus is 📊 Power BI dashboards that deliver real insight without the smoke and mirrors

I became the person you called when SharePoint “stopped behaving,” Excel needed therapy, or your boss wanted a 12-month report in a pie chart yesterday.
