Sheets is terrible. Cannot use the magic keyboard to shift your active cell (ie click a cell, type = and use arrow keys to find the cell you want to reference.. it just quits the cell).

* Sketching for construction drawings

Sounds a bit like any job:
* Cross train in other departments
* Demonstrate your functionality/team’s functionality to other groups through talks, white papers, ‘internal consulting
* You do well when your boss does well, make your boss look good
* Buzzwords and trends make the world go round
