A few years ago I was working for a QA department and trying to apply my programming skills wherever I could. There was a weekly report that someone in upper management produced to send to their peers, which was basically two filtered and cross referenced CSV dumps. I briefly took over that task while the manager was away, and was able to automate it pretty easily. I even produced a small GUI that made it easy for the manager to use later. Ultimately the manager chose to keep doing it by hand for 40 hours per week. I left that organisation a few months later.
