Ughh it’s Friday afternoon, and you’re knee deep in spreadsheets changing and extracting arbitrary values so that you can pass some data onto someone else, who lets face might be doing the same thing. Only a few more hours and you can be free – except you can’t, not until this is done because your line manager ‘really needs’ them for first thing Monday morning. The worst part is that it’s the same job as last week and the week before that… and the week before that. Furthermore, these spreadsheets seem to be getting bigger and requested more frequently. Let’s face it, the reason you’ve left it until Friday is that you can’t bear doing it again. You dream of your next job, maybe someone else will have to do this sort of work, and you can concentrate on what your good at.
