I had a word with your manager, you are not qualified.

thanks a lot

Cause like 99% of requirements are that kind of sh*tty boring stuff.
I'm on yet another annoying data migration project and the vast majority of the time is spent in meetings and following people up on when servers will be ready and that kind of thing.

Does look cool but like you don't know what I'd do with it. Now a frozen margarita fountain??

You'd need a lot of ice!

I have an internship at a local office of UWV in the Netherlands (they pay benefit to the unemployed)
About 4 months ago they asked me to make a small database so they can track how long it takes for our doctors to handle a case, because the system they used now was crap, real crap.
Ignorant lil me did so, after using it for 4 months as test they liked it and told me they would keep using it.
No problem there.
Then they tell me they don't want to lose the 2 year of data they gather before they used my lil database.
So now here I am... fighting my way through over 2000 records.
There is no standard...
No 2 records look alike...
They just wrote stuff down they thought would be interesting...
With the tools I have here (the computers here are completely restricted, can’t even install a text editor) there is now way to automate it...
I’m not allowed to take it home so I can use my own tools, the information is too sensitive.
I'm slowly loosing my sanity with every record I read. (and I din't have that much too begin with)
only good think I got the look forward to is a new intern coming next week that I can dump this on and get back to some meaningful stuff (like lurking around the lounge every 10 min).

Usualy i'm that monkey.

You could have converted 20 records in the time it took you to complain about it. You could probably have it done by Monday if you were committed to excellance (worked over the weekend).
The key is to excel. If you don't have the ambition, find another line of work.
Dumping it on a subordinate (especially a NEW subordinate that is unfmaliar with the system) is never the right thing to do.

Of course I’m exaggerating with dumping it on the new intern, but he will get to do some of it.
As annoying as it may be it’s a great way to learn the system
The annoying part is just that in 2 years time they didn't think of some form so you would at least get some sort of standard.
And yeah ill probably came in over the weekend to get some extra done.
And I’m not really losing time right now because 1 of the systems I need to "decrypt" this stuff is down, some server crash at the main office.
