How come it’s the most pointless jobs – the ones you just know as you’re being asked to do them, are the ones which require the most effort?
It’s these jobs, the most fiddly fucking ones, that you spend all day on, fixing this, sorting that, fishing that and trying to get it to work with the other, which inevitably (and you’re more than aware of this when you start) are destined for the bin.
And as you just come up trumps and are about to slap yourself on the back, having told the boss it’s done at last, expecting little treats thrown your way, the boss remembers: “Actually, forgot to tell you before lunch that wasn’t necessary after all”.
