Data entry is a devious little monster. You sit there for hours at a time, your mind slowly melting into mush at the repetitive “point, click, point, click, type….point, click…..”.

Hey, maybe the aliens from Hulu are on the wrong track. They should make people input random letters and numbers while pointing and clicking in a million different places if they really want people’s brains to rot. They could make it a password set up or something, and make us change our passwords every 30 days so we have to do it all again. Wait, it gets better! They can give us actual data from some company and have us do the data entry for the company that’s paying them for the service, rotting our brain and getting paid in human money at the same time!! Mwahahahah.

So the deceptive part of data entry: here you are typing (point, click) away and slowly losing focus on the world around you. In defense, your brain tries to kick in to another subject, like blogging and all that, and all of a sudden you are making mistakes and your fingers (point, click) don’t want to input what you are telling them to! It’s an evil, mutant mess! And boring as hell!! I do not envy those people who do this for a living.
