I've earned myself a morning LJ break. I was given a job to do of monumental proportions. "Here is a CD with a whole lot of information on it (a small evolution encyclopaedia thing). We no longer have the source so can you please copy it all out for us."

"Meep," I thought. However, being a clever chap I googled for 30 minutes before starting and hey presto, there was the program I needed to convert the locked director files into unlocked director files. So rather than about a fortnight of typing stuff I have been at work for two hours and got it all done which includes downloading and learnign to use director.

I am so happy that I didn't have to do all that typing (though of course I will earn less money this way *g*).

Anyway, back to work. I might actually get to create a website soon... :)

Makes me wonder how many people would just do the typing. I bet loads is the anwser.

Think of all that wasted time. And to think that those people would actually delude themselves, and sometimes there managers that they are doing a good job.

I hate work. Its so... well weird and strange to me :)

But you would be typing lots of stuff out.

Isn't that what LJ and IRC are for?

Let you create a site... doubt it! They've never let a temp loose on a site before! They tend to use temps just for "Monkey Work" only! At least they let you play with Director!;)
