I Am a Shrubber

Man, I am so getting nothing done. I've been working on this documentary for over a week now, which necessitates 9 - 12 hours a day of watching interviews and typing out word for word what the person says. It's interesting work much of the time, but that's a lot of typing, and spending a minimum of 6 hours with each interview subject gets tedious, no matter how interested you might be in what they have to say. The SO came and sat with me a couple of times and worked the dvd remote so that I could focus on typing, and he was like "wow...this is really hard. you got that? you heard what he said? wow, you type really fast." I kinda wondered what he thought I'd done every single day of the last 5 years at work 10 hours a day, but I guess it's one thing for me to tell you "I type what people say," and it's quite another for you to sit next to me and see exactly what that entails and how aggravating it can be...and these people are public speakers by trade, so they are much better at it than most. Certainly, they have a far greater command of the English language than the average Joes and Janes I used to transcribe for reality television.

Anyway, I have to go sleep now, and tomorrow/today, I have jewelry to make for an order, and then it's back to the transcription grind stone. I'll be really glad to finish this project, interesting as it is. Ah, jewelry and plants, how I miss them.

"Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say Ni at will to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress in this period in history."

Gotta love those Python boys.
