Pivoting bricks

After the morning shift this morning, we have totals of 70 shifts, 1208 bricks, 160,664 vertical yards and 3,624 vertical yards. With vertical yards having been added to the record quite recently, estimated at 3 yards to the brick. Estimated by getting the eye lined up with the flat roof of the extension while standing by the brick compost heap. The equivalent of getting on for the Middle Teton in Wyoming, from sea level. See reference 1.

It takes a spot of trial and error to be reminded that there is little point in plotting two series, one of which is a multiple of the other, on the same graph but with both left hand and right hand scales, as the two plots coincide.

On the other hand, I am starting to warm a little to Microsoft's pivot tables. They do have a pretty fair stab at guessing what it is one wants to do, or perhaps what it thinks one should be doing.
