I had to do a VBA script in Excel the other day. I can't get the taste out of my mouth, and no matter how many times I wash my hands, I still feel dirty.

That's the problem when you get the reputation of being the goto guy.

Nice pun! 
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

I used no goto's. At least I have some of my integrity intact...

At one place I worked, a cute girl in the wallah department complained over a beer that she had to spend a huge amount of time decompiling delivered excel sheets into multiple contract-related sheets, so I whipped up a cool macro that did it for her in less than half a minute -- all graphically, so you could see the new sheets open and populate lightning fast.
Boy, did I ever regret it.
Sure, I had fun with the young lady, but that turned out to be transient.
The "Hey, I've heard you're good with excel!" factor, however, stuck like dog sh1t.

I wrote some Javascript about 10 years ago and I still feel the same.
You think you're over it, you think it's in the past, you think life's back on track ... then one night you wake up screaming and it's like it only happened yesterday. You spend hours in the shower trying to get clean but the filth just sticks to you. A car back-fires and you're back there on the battlefield. Blood everywhere. People screaming. People dying. And in the middle of it all - that filthy, filthy excuse for a language.
There is no recovery. No road back to sanity. No road back to dignity. You are marked for life. And all for a few lines of code.
Why? Dammit! WHY????
Slogans aren't solutions.

Yeah, it's something you can only talk about if you have a doll you can use to identify what hurts.

Awesome. You can do all kinds of fun stuff.  And, it's easy because you can record half of it usually.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Did you get therapy for this? You should write a blog about your painful experience, and other snowflakes can follow you.

Most doctors shake their head, and apologize for not being able to help me "because the hurt goes too deep".

I'm sensing a pattern here...does JSOP dislike VB?
Variety is the spice of life! Yesterday for me was a mix of VB.Net, VBS, C#, JavaScript and CSS and I feel fine.

It's the habanero chili of programming,
not the very hottest (the carolina reaper), but not far off
can be taken taken in small doses to excite the palette (or to show off)
but in large quantities will incinerate your mouth going in and basically de-ring you coming out.
Sin tack ear lol

Super, super far off from a Carolina Reaper.
One makes pale people cry a little. The other is weapons grade.

No no no!
It's the love of his life!
It's VBA that's the problem, because it's a watered-down perversion of his beloved!
Please, cheer him up by sending all your questions about VB (NOT VBA!) to him!

As I always say, it's not the tool that is used that's the problem, it's usually the tool that uses it.

That the clever method you made, isn't conforming with the MSDN documentation and therefore might be dependent on a bug.
What do you do?
- Fix the (at the moment nonexistent) problem despite taking several days, just to make sure a nasty bug doesn't appear whenever MS changes their method, which they might never do.
- Or do you add a comment to the method in question stating what the fix is if it's ever needed.
- Other.
