We have been busy with several tedious jobs recently.
Yesterday I spent several hours just annotating a job to the specifics of the customers contract. It is a highway contract so the government contract has some stupid rules. They do that only because: "it has always been done that way"
Back in the stone ages before computers stereo mapping was done on analogue stereo plotters. It was vital to have each frame of film annotated and a contact print made of each frame of film. Now with computers the computer program takes care of that. It is a total waste of time to do it but they have it in the contract specs that have not been updated in 20 years so we spend hours labeling each frame of film with a device designed in the 1960s. It is a real mind bender trying to keep each frame of film labeled with the proper string of mostly gibberish.
Ah well, that is why it is called work. I was so busy yesterday I did not have time for my afternoon nap!
