Data Entry, cookie stacking, its one in the same
The joy's of a Wednesday, I'm back in the office and set the task of doing more trivial stuff, including some data entry, which let me tell you must be the most soul destroying job any person could ever have to do. Why people would choose to do this as a job on a full time basis is beyond me completely. It's like working in a cookie factory.
The afternoon is a bit more exciting with me developing a site from scratch, but knowing my work would be reviewed and probably altered beyond recognition I didn't much see the point in busting a gut to get it all done. It didn't help either that I was working from paper designs, with no overall design in digital format. It's very tricky decipher the hex code of a particular colour when its only representation is on a bit of paper. In fact is also very tricky to establish how wide things are too, and not wanting to resort to a ruler I just had to guesstimate a lot of the structure.
When I get home we've had another cats eye delivered, only this one is tiny. Tiny enough that we lost it when inspecting it so now I fear its fate lays in the form of being sucked into a vacuum cleaner at some point during next week.
We also spec up a new PC on the Dell website, and after a bit of manipulating the system Phil manages to get the PC I'd specified under the "home user" section 400 quid cheaper under the "business user" section - exact same spec too. So it's possible that a new PC may be on the horizon at some point.

You don't always get to choose the job you like but have to take what's available.
