Creative and Analytical

What gives? The two sides of my brain are at war again. My creative right brain is feeling trapped and desperate, while my analytical side is getting frustrated with excel and equations that don't work.

I'm actually not sure if my brain has ever been peaceful. Depending on which side is winning totally determines how I am feeling. The only time there is peace is when I so how find a way to work both side to exhaustion, and that is extremely difficult. Most of the time I think of myself as a Creative being. I guess I've always thought that is the side of me that is cooler. Seeing as it is the analytical side of me that is feeding me at the moment, I guess my perception of coolness is not really the important thing to pay attention too.

And it is not as if I am no longer using my Creative side. I'm just making it work for the Analytical side. And the Analytical side is a cruel master. Of course it used to be the other way around, my Analytical side was playing slave to my creativity. And although my Creative side is not cruel, it can be totally random and fickle, which is the worst kind of torture for my Analytical side.

Of course in a little bit, they are both going to forget their argument to make full bore war on Excel and Windows insanity that they call software. To waylay battle from breaking out I need to figure out how to write an equation that can take the user ID and pull the correct name that belongs to that name from one sheet into another. Otherwise I might actually loose my brain completely... it is a possibility, honestly.
