Excel Not Responding

Have been staring at my glowing white monitor for about 17 and a half minutes now. The model is only 14,659 KB. When met with my two options: 1) Restart the program; 2) Wait for the program to respond, I have tried both. Restarting the program leads me to the same fate. Waiting for the program to respond leads to more waiting. 

Any ideas on how to stay busy while this Excel file fries my computer? I'm also in the office docked in so I doubt it's an internet issue. I might actually just reply to undergrad kids on LinkedIn out of boredom. Maybe I'll start hitting the flask I keep hidden in my desk. 9:37am = time for bourbon.
