I do contract work for a few clients. I always automate the boring tasks of vpn'ning, firing up remote desktop, connecting to database servers, their email system, etc. Automating that is fiddly and tedious, but it's worth it because I can just click a button and get a menu of clients. I choose one, and in about 10 seconds my machine is ready to go on their work.
