The Food Pantry in Highland, IL

This is the letter I wrote to the director of the food pantry today.

To whom it may concern,



This woman was so extremely rude to me when I went in to the Food Pantry today. She began by telling me that my income is too high. I proceeded to tell her that yes, it seems like I make a lot, but I don't get to keep it. I'm currently paying off 10,000+ dollars in debt, and I'm about to file for bankruptcy. My husband doesn't work because he has a mental illness. She told me that my husband should get a job, and it's my fault for having all of the debt because I bought the items. She then said that she's there to help people that really need the help, and asked me if I was OK with taking food that other people really need. This woman does not know me, and does not know my situation. Numbers written on a piece of paper do not tell an accurate story of someone's life. If I didn't need the food, I wouldn't have been there. I'm not just going in there to get some free food for the hell of it, and I don't appreciate the insinuations that this woman made. When the bankruptcy was done, I hadn't planned on continuing to go there. I appreciate the items that the Food Pantry has given me, but now I would rather starve then go back there.



Your volunteers need to realize that they are no better than anyone else, and should stop treating people like they are.

Minimize all open workbooks in Excel

I just had to share this. I spent an hour searching the interwebs looking for a simple VBA code to minimize all of the open workbooks in Excel. It seems like it should be really easy and simple to find, but it wasn't. Finally, after borrowing some code from excel.tips.net, and tweaking it slightly, I came up with this:

Sub Minimize_All()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim wkb As Workbook

    For Each wkb In Workbooks
        If Windows(wkb.Name).Visible Then _
          ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlMinimized
    Next
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

And it works perfectly! I created myself a little icon and now all is right with the world; until I find something else to fix.
