     Patch, why are you doing a spreadsheet? You're an SRE.

     @patcharcana Everyone produces reports wrong, and yeah

     @silverwizard I'm flat fuckin' baffled this whole report isn't just condensed into a single <monitoring tool> query, but then again I guess the question has also just never come up for us before.

     @silverwizard No no, the spreadsheet is just the tool I'm going to use to beat Directorate over the head with the data once the reports have been massaged.

     Because frankly nobody has found a simpler way to present trend data to folks who should have just been accountants yet.
