PHD’s Regular Blah #6

I opened my eyes, everything around me is blurry and cold. I hurriedly looked at the watch, it showed 10:30, but it meant little for I am in a different timezone. While I was trying to clear my eyes the guy who is sleeping infront of me said “hi”, even before I could open my mouth, he asked me if I want to join him for a smoke. I took almost a minute to respond, “yeah, but I dont smoke.”IMG_7267

Leaving my bags and jacket there, I wandered for sometime. I took a peek in to the smoking room only to found eight women and two men busy reducing their lifespan. Smiling I went ahead to the brightly lit restaurant zone. Everything seemed incredibly costly. A regular latte for 95 baht and a veg burger is about 90 baht. I didn’t have so much with me. “Lets exchange some”, my sleepy mind suggested. Bloody coffee addiction! I cursed myself and looked out for an exchange point.

After a while and a cup of coffee, my friend asked me to join him for a snack at Burgerking. We found a person eating alone at a table while reading “never eat alone“. After a hearty laugh and some french fries we wandered for a really long time along the alleys of Suvarnabhumi Aiport in Bangkok.

10 hours of it in total. Life in transit lounges could be unimaginably boring

    Hi Chandoo,
    I am responsible for tracking when church reports are submitted on time or not and the variations from the due date for submission.
    Here is the Scenario;
    The due date for the submission of monthly reports is on the 5th of each month. and I would like to know how many reports have been submitted on time (i.e, those that have been submitted on or before the due date) I would also want to track those reports that have been submitted after the due date has passed.
    How can I create such a tracker?

    Hi Chandoo,
    I am a member of your excel school.
    I was trying to create SOP Tracker I follow all your steps but I keep this error below.

    The list source must be a delimited list, or a reference to a single row or cell.

    I try looking on YouTube for answer but no luck.

    can you help on this?

    thanks
    Carl.
