Figured since we were going for a cry for help,
then I might as well start howling myself.
I know, I know, I should be able to
fend for myself at this point...
...but oh well, what I really need is less
caffeine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeine) in my diet and
more sleep (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep).
I've been trying to manage data for
the possibility of processing and
searching through huge blocks
of email using a macro in
outlook, to table it in
excel. Dunno where
I goofed... help plz?
