Today has been so mind-numbingly boring. I am working on a task that your average 3d-grader could accomplish. We have this online archive of tips and tricks, that field support personnel could consult, that “has” to be cataloged for review, so persons higher-up the decision chain than I can decide what to delete, what to update, etc. There is no easy way to catalog all of this stuff, since I basically have to read each item to summarize it in the Excel spreadsheet it’s all going in. So far, everything is so woefully out of date, it’s a virtual given that the whole thing will be trashed. So why are they bothering? Because my bosses like to torture me? Because they haven’t given me any other project that’s actually worth my time, skillls, or knowledge?
I know, I know. Be thankful I have a job and get paid for the mind-numbingly boring work anyway. It would still be nice to get a project that’s actually challenging in some way and doesn’t have me getting up every fifteen minutes just to stay awake…
