Doing the most booring job in the world. Need some advice of entertainment

[Ravioli]

My dad has this archive of pictures from the old days of my grandfather and his childhood etc. The pictures are in those small squarish whatever form. After years of just existing they loose color and become red. So my dad has assigned me to scan these 200 pictures into the computer. First i have to use this little...idk in english but its this little metal pincet, and grab the end of the pictures and drag them out of the socket. Doing this is a pain in the ass. Then i have to clean the pictures, then i have to insert them into this frame in the scanner, have to be put in PRECECELY (i know my spelling sucks). Then i have to clean them again because of the dust and shit that they get from the air. Then i have to preview scan them (30 secs) then i have to crop every picture induvidualy (there are 6 pictures in each scan process) and scan each one (about 30 seconds). Then i have to review them and delete 75% of them because they got dust and dirt on them. So i have to open the scanner and clean them, then make a list of the ones i deleted so i know which i have to redo. Then if for example #3 out of 6 pictures was OK then i have to rename #3 to 6 because othervise the program will overwrite it with the redone verison because it counts from 1-6 (as if it redoes all of them) then when im finished i have to rename it to the correct name. Then i have to put the pictures BACK into their sockets in the book/whatever its called.

All this for 6 pictures, about 45 minutes. Now i have to do 200 of these...so i need something that can keep me alive.

Videos, games, funny pictures, songs, WHATEVER, JUST DONT LEAVE ME HERE!!!!!!!

Oh and i get paid by doing this so it doesnt totaly suck.

If you're in front of a computer, turn some music on!

 

[Acepilotf14]

Pay your friends half as much as your getting to do it for you. Be SURE to pick a poorer kid than you.. theyll do ANYTHING for money. TRust me, I know.
One that preferabbly DOESNT have a computer.

Here's another vote for music. Just fill a playlist with music you like and leave it on while you work.

hm thanks for all the tips. I have to agree that work is work and nothing more. The thing is that i have never been working before. Im kind of spoiled lazy kid with a wealthy father so work hasnt been really in my thoughts. So now when im actually doing it its like..SO BOORING, i cant believe people actually work from morning till day everyday of their lifes, just sitting there WORKING. Im scared of the time when i graduate from highschool. Hopefully i can get a job in the gaming industri because thats the only place i will enjoy.

Anyway, i have only about 120 minutes of music so that idea kind of dies out after a while. But yeah, i guess its time to face reality now, work work work work work.

please kill me

Listen to it again. Either way, people generally do jobs they enjoy. Except office workers... no-one enjoys those jobs... or monotonous ones like you're doing... or factory lines....

Here's an idea! Why not laugh at how stupid/young your dad looks in all the photos!

Hey! I work in an office and I love it. I don't wanna leave at the end of the day.
Granted, I do go out and visit other people's businesses from time to time, but that's mostly irrelevant.
