Monotony

It's Friday, the end of another work week. 

What have I done at work?  Nothing extraordinary. I've been matching some cases for our projects for weeks now.  Initially, my task was to match 8,000 cases of records but it climbed up to 14,000 due to changes in work assignment.  I use a formula to match the cases but I found out that our data is not that clean so I end up matching a number of cases manually.

It's not the most exciting task there is.  But it needs to be done.  And I need to do it for the project to go on.  And that is what I keep on telling myself whenever I feel bored.  To keep on moving.  The same thing with life.  Sometimes if we focus on the everyday tasks and rituals, the monotony is magnified.  But if you look at the bigger picture, it's a different story.   Or even if you can't see the bigger picture, trust that it will be beautiful and it will be.
