Sinuhe copies and pastes

many many years ago i read Sinuhe The Egyptian, a novel by Mika Waltari
today here at work and not sure why

all of a sudden Sinuhe and his descriptive walks on the arid desert
also the battlefields, came to my mind
i think i read it at least 15 years ago... never thought of it until today, right now


but while here at work i am dealing with HTML, stupid Cold Fusion and Fusebox that I don't understand

I ended doing a little process that requires a lot of simple old fashioned
COPY and PASTE

now i feel that for Sinuhe his job of walking those dusty battlefields

was as pasty and boring as my COPY/PASTE
but just his walks, not the rest of his life, no, just the dusty walks
but at least both me and Sinuhe have a job
and a job is sometimes, a lot of boring work

do i need help though? maybe just a chat with old Sinuhe would be fine
too bad i don't have
Mycroft's Prose Portal to at least make an attempt...

Coucou Berenice,

Lovely post, my dear, and so long ago.

Copy and paste that is today's definition of toiling along to make a living. Still it might be better than working in a coal mine or plugging tomatoes in a field.

Cheers
Georg
