I'd like to offer a shared moment of excel angst with all those other "financial model" stooges like me....

Why? Seriously! I want to know why excel chooses the days I really need to get a chunk of work completed to act like a total asshole. All the dramatic freezes! All the lost work! Oh the drama!

(And for those that want to advise that a poor workman always blames his (her) tools? You can bite me.)
