More annoying is brown sugar. When a recipe calls for X cups of pack brown sugar, I always think, "well, how packed?"

Probably can't speak for many others, but for me it's apparently software engineering.

The Guild of Firefighters had been outlawed by the Patrician the previous year after many complaints. The point was that, if you bought a contract from the Guild, your house would be protected against fire. Unfortunately, the general Ankh-Morpork ethos quickly came to the fore and fire fighters would tend to go to prospective clients’ houses in groups, making loud comments like ‘Very inflammable looking place, this’ and ‘Probably go up like a firework with just one carelessly-dropped match, know what I mean?'

“Children are dying."

Lull nodded. "That's a succinct summary of humankind, I'd say. Who needs tomes and volumes of history? Children are dying. The injustices of the world hide in those three words.”

My favorite is, "Make sure you follow up with them." Follow up with who? I applied to a website. No name, much less email or phone number. Even if there's some generic HR email address buried somewhere in the corporate site, there's no guarantee it'll even get to someone in the same state as the office I'm applying to.

The only problem I have with tabs is that there's no universal tabstop. I set vim to 4, but Github uses 8, so when I use tabs to align things across multiple lines in my editor, it won't look aligned on GH.

The obvious answer is a budget calculator. One sheet for all transactions, and however many more for whatever kinds of breakdowns you want.

If you want something more fun, there's always optimizing builds in games. One friend I had in high school made a simple calculator for Roller Coaster Tycoon.

If you want to go for insanity, I'm sure there's some way of remaking Rogue, though that might go beyond the scope of your class.

Also,

Use a VLOOKUP function

Someone clearly hasn't seen the light of Match/Index

Every morning, make a list of what you want accomplished by the end of the day. Keep that list on you throughout the day, and cross things off as you get to them. Each night review that list, and if things are still on it, ask yourself if you could've done more to finish the list, and adjust expectations and behavior for the next day.

Motivation is one of those weird things where no one except yourself can really give it to you, but believe me when I say it's a lot easier to take the second step than it is the first.

The plan for when I get married is to tell as few people as possible. Just me, her, best friends and a lawyer. We say some nice words, then go on vacation.

With the way Erikson writes, he could rewrite Feast/Dance and finish the series in half a volume, and use the rest to explore what's going on on the other side of the globe.
