My first thirteen hour day at work and my right hand is like a claw.
I imagine you have a list of 3000 or so items. Imagine the database only brings up one item at a time. Imagine that you have to mouse click onto a calander and then tick a box to say yes I really did want that date and then press save and than yes I really do want to save and then click to go to next record and then click yes I do actually want to the information to be saved before I move on and infact that is why I clicked save already and then imagine you have to click yes I really meant it when I said I wanted to save it yet again, before it will let you go to the next record BUT ONLY if you have first clicked on another tab that take you to a totally irrelevant field that you have to choose as not applicable first.
Imagine doing that for three and a half hours.
Now usually I kind of find this soothing because it amuses me that anybody has to do this at all, but today I am feeling decidedly fed up.
I am in fact feeling decidedly under appreciated and have decided I will start applying for a new job tomorrow.
That's horrible. The whole list should be fed in and parsed with a single command. All this mouse clicking bollocks is not how large scale data entry is supposed to be done on a computer. Not by sensible people, anyway. Don't you have IT staff who can sort something out?
ReplyDeleteGive us this day our daily whinge. And that one sounds wholly justified.
