I have a life-long enjoyment of working with spreadsheets. My first summer job, which my father gave me at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novartis.com\/about-us\/who-we-are\/company-history\">Ciba Geigy<\/a> (a drug company), involved spreadsheets &#8211; using Lotus 1-2-3, I fell in love with the macro programming features, and I remember using spreadsheet programming to make a &#8220;pong&#8221; type game. I think I was in middle school at the time. I made graphs which were even m<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">ore sophisticated than what I&#8217;m doing now. Anyway, this is today&#8217;s spreadsheet data work. I have a ton of numbers and it&#8217;s my job to create a way to explain the numbers in a meaningful way. I have numbers that come from each unit of botox used each day at work. And here I can show to my Botox friends that Botox is used the least in Quarter 1, then followed by a Quarter 3. Those are the &#8220;relaxed&#8221; Botox Quarters of the year. I also like drawing in regression lines, but that will be for another day. I&#8217;ve had my spreadsheet fix for today.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\">\n<p>In my quest for quality work, I like to study patterns. For me it is always quality over quantity. I don&#8217;t like to sacrifice quality for the sake of doing more Botox. But I think the side effect of quality work is that there will be growth.<\/p>\n<p>Quarters 2 and 4 are the strongest quarters for Botox use. Quarters 1 and 3 are weaker with Quarter 1 being the weakest. I&#8217;m not entirely sure of the pattern maybe someone can offer me suggestions. It may have something to do with the weather, school cycles, vacation schedules, wedding\/reunion deadlines. I&#8217;m not sure &#8211; or perhaps even with my own scheduling habits. But in the past 2 years, I&#8217;ve tried to work as much as possible. I think in the future, I can do a study of &#8220;density&#8221; of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\">Botox<\/a>: normalize Botox use per day worked. Ahhh&#8230; so much you can do with data.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>I have an obsession with spreadsheets, so my wife says. I just have a ton of data and I&#8217;m just massaging that data into more meaningful expression. I&#8217;m still in the pursuit of higher quality not quantity as some of these graphics suggest. But I&#8217;ll see growth as a side effect of successfully upholding the highest values relating to quality.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/quarterly-comparison-of-botox-units-2014-2015-with-frame.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-724\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-724 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/quarterly-comparison-of-botox-units-2014-2015-with-frame.png\" alt=\"quarterly comparison of botox units 2014-2015 - with frame\" width=\"789\" height=\"477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/quarterly-comparison-of-botox-units-2014-2015-with-frame.png 789w, https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/quarterly-comparison-of-botox-units-2014-2015-with-frame-300x181.png 300w, https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/quarterly-comparison-of-botox-units-2014-2015-with-frame-768x464.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 789px) 100vw, 789px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/stacked-bar.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-725\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-725\" src=\"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/stacked-bar-300x128.png\" alt=\"stacked bar\" width=\"300\" height=\"128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/stacked-bar-300x128.png 300w, https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/stacked-bar.png 748w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reflecting upon my own childhood, I think there is an importance regarding summer jobs for kids.
