The Computer

My current work assignment has me translating one set of codes about bacteria and parasites into another set of codes. I'm not entirely certain that I'm doing it correctly, but it's nice to have something to do that doesn't require a whole lot of brain power (thanks antihistamines). There aren't as many synonyms for maggot as I thought there would be. If I were smarter, I could come up with a way to automate this whole process and save me from the thousands of enter-search-click-find-enter repetitions. So I feel a little like a trained monkey, but it is nice to have something to do.
