The guy I work for really has no idea how easy certain tasks are once you automate them. I have done nothing to correct his misconceptions. (I'm a CS grad student, working under a professor who somehow got tenure despite being unable to program his way out of a cardboard box. I swear, half of this job is tricking him into thinking I'm doing his work, so I can focus on doing actual research. ...I really need to find a new advisor.)
