Not sure that was cheating... :)   Gave you something to occupy the down

True enough.  Doing a good job, no matter how uninviting the job, can
pay off well when one gets noticed for doing a good job.  Besides, it
gives you a better feeling about yourself to know you are doing the best
you can, even in a job that seems to be beneath you...  :)
