Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.
Every Tuesday since the middle of last year, I have had to prepare a report at work. Initially the report guidelines were sketchy and no one could even tell me how it should look or what it should report. Eventually we got the format figured out. The first report took me over two hours to complete. Every week I try to cut a little time off of my preparation.
I fiddled with some code in the spreadsheet program I use, I learned a few more keyboard shortcuts, I reconfigured the raw data so that it could be copied and pasted more quickly, etc..
About the time that I initially had to start providing the report, I was really into Blindside's "Silence" CD. While I did not like running the report, at least I could pass the time listening to my favorite CD.
As the months went by and I streamlined the report I got to the point where it was taking me less than an hour to complete it. The "Silence" CD runs about that length so I was still happy. Today I completed the report in twenty minutes. Instead of being happy that I have almost perfected this report, I found myself upset because I did not get to listen to even half the CD.
I guess I just can't be happy.
Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
Jon
