    Karen Cheng serenaded Microsoft with her version of American Pie titled “Bye bye Excel and I”. Here are the lyrics:

    Long, long lines of code
    It can take a while for Excel code to compile
    I am glad I’ve had the chance
    To make the cells and numbers dance, and maybe make some customers smile
    But the time has come to close this chapter, beer and chips and hallway laughter
    Feelin’ a little blue, I will miss my feature crew
    Sound of typing and mouse clicks, taco Fridays in 36
    Now it’s time for me to go
    Goodbye, product studio

    So Bye, bye Excel and I
    It’s been 3 good years, oh how time has flown by
    With devs in the hall drinkin’ whiskey and rye
    Singin’ forever recalc or die, forever recalc or die

    Together we made Excel 15,
    And we bleed proud forever green, for the world’s calc machine
    Gotta listen to my heart it knows
    Time to shake up my status quo, I am hopping on a plane to San Francisco
    The next time that I touch a spec will be at a startup called Exec
    My PM days have expired, I’ve taken a job as a designer
    My last day is the 24th, please see me for anything you need before
    And after that don’t disappear, please do contact me here.

    So Bye, bye Excel and I
    It’s been 3 good years, oh how time has flown by
    With devs in the hall drinkin’ whiskey and rye
    Singin, Forever recalc or die.

    Sometimes quitting isn’t the only way to get out of a desperate career situation. This corps de ballet dancer was so bored with his motionless role in “The Nutcracker” that he decided to, ahem, adapt the choreography to his needs.
