Trudging through
Wow, I really like how the wood paneling turned out on this comic and Monday's comic. Ok, enough patting myself on the back, I guess I should explain the inspiration for this comic. No matter what job you have, as far as I can tell, there's always grunt work that you have to do. You might think this work is below you or just boring as hell. It's the work that anyone could do, but you end up having to do it. While you're doing it, you really want to open a vein, because it's work you find insanely boring and many times you end up thinking that a trained monkey could do it, but it has to get done. Like I said, this isn't something just one job has, as far as I can tell, from my past experience, and from listening to other people, every job is like this at some point. The kind of interesting thing to me is that the part that's like this changes per person. Some people hate documenting while others hate drudging through old code to find a mistake. I guess that's why we get paid for it, so, barrel on through it and get back to the part you enjoy as fast as possible.
RIP rm-r-comic
