Mine is, without question paper filing and retrieving filing... tedious, painful, involves too much thought to zone out and not enough to be interesting. I'm away from my desk, so can't even pause to check email, or listen to my radio.

And those little metal prong things just piss me OFF.

What's the worst task you have to do at your job?

Oooh, my lease favourite thing.... furniture!

Actually, I have nothing against furniture. Furniture is great and as an architect, it can even be fun to pick out. What I hate is reviewing furniture specs, particularly systems furniture. UGH.

Of course, that means pretty much nothing to anyone who's never done it before but believe me, you don't wanna do it...

Yea, I'd hate furniture specs too... because I'd get stuck FILING them! ;)

GRADES.... Just finished the 15 week grades. Probably one of the most important to the students, but my least favorite.

Debug my code. Sit in status meetings when I could be coding the things we are discussing in the meeting.

I absolutely loathe meetings. The pace is agonizingly slow, and people are constantly asking the stupidest of questions. It is pure torture.
