"Your analysis is wrong"

It never fails that in the middle of the most intense weeks, there is a small glimmer of hope that makes its way into my inbox or my walk to lunch. This week's nugget of whimsy happened to be an email from a VP:

Last night around 1AM, just as I had finished binding up books for our pitch this morning, I get an email with a subject line reading:

"URGENT! FIGURES ARE WRONG MUST UPDATE ASAP!"

....no body to the email just the subject line....

the rest of our non-"millennial" office has yet to make the move over to Slack so subject line only emails are the current staple in my team

Frantically, I grab my phone and call my SVP. Nothing. Immediately goes to voicemail. I pour over the numbers again, railing the F2 key and checking a few sketchy assumptions I plugged up in my CFS.

30 minutes later I get the call. (skipping 3 minutes of BS)
"Figures in Revenue are wrong"
me: "In what way"

"There's an error in your sheet, your figures are coming out to hashtags. You must have deleted a cell on another sheet"

In some small way, this gave me hope to live and work another day.
