in thread Why do monks put up with it?
During one job where I was expected to cut/paste or open an app and make trivial edits repeatedly, I took it as an opportunity to learn ksh, sed, awk, and perl (OK, at the time I didn't learn much perl, so I mostly used sed & awk).
I did almost all my work nearly instantly with shell scripts, had the rest of the day to learn other things, but when they took ksh off the systems because csh was the standard there, I started looking for other work. Not just because of the ksh/csh thing, but because the work was so boring, and learning sed & awk could only keep me interested for so long.
