Being an overachiever at work can mean a lot of things. For most desk jockeys and people who sit behind a computer all day, their goals can be a little more ambiguous than your average handyman. For office folks, we can't just say, "I want to complete remodeling this bathroom by this date"–we have to have more vague goals surrounding weird things like Excel speed, managerial standards, and that weird notion of 'shareholder value'.
The guy in this next video decided to create a newer and stranger goal for himself in the workplace: Defeat the Excel obstacle course in record time.
You might be wondering what in blazes an Excel obstacle course is and, believe it or not, it's far simpler than it sounds. Some bored desk worker somewhere created a template of solvable problems on Excel that can all be filled in or finished by shortcuts through the program and that 'obstacle course' has circulated through cubicles all over the world with folks who think they can stand up to the speed record. Well, one man was able to annihilate the standing record and recorded himself achieving his goal, but hilariously he has a mixed bag of a reaction that sends folks into a tizzy in the comment section.
Scroll for the video proving that office goals offer a brief serotonin boost before reminding us of the banality of the universe–and the comedic genius that ensues afterward.
