Tedious Insanity



Today there was only enough of that sweet refreshing ice-tea left to fill my glass halfway.

Tedious:
1.
marked by tedium; long and tiresome: tedious tasks; a tedious journey.
2.
wordy so as to cause weariness or boredom, as a speaker or writer; prolix.

Insanity:
1.
the condition of being insane; a derangement of the mind.
2.
Law . such unsoundness of mind as affects legal responsibility or capacity.
3.
Psychiatry . (formerly) psychosis.
4.
extreme folly; senselessness; foolhardiness.

Life itself is extremely diverse...and at the same time it's extremely repetitive. It forces you to work hard so you can keep it going. To get that work done right, you have to be good at it. To be good at that work, you must practice. And too often does that practice involve a lot of questionably mentally-safe tedious tasks. But hey, this is 2010 and we have robots to do the work for us.

The work on this project so far has been extremely tedious. A large part of the reason for that is because I've been using MS-Paint for all of the graphical design so far. Month after month I keep expecting the speed of work to compound as my MS-Paint experience level rises. Although I have become a lot quicker in MS-Paint, the work is still way too slow and much more repetitive than it should be. The time is overdue to switch over to Adobe Illustrator. Which, I believe will satisfy all my needs.....but I'm going to stab my self in the ear with a rusty dental pick if I find out six months down the road that there's a program a billion times better for my needs.
