waiting for data to copy from one place to another

This is what I spend most of my time doing.

moving data

renaming data

concatenating data

zipping up data

extracting data

merging data with other data

parsing data

editing metadata (data about data)

data collection

analysis

cartography

That's what I got in this line of work for. And instead I sit and manage data most of the time (at least that's what it feels like today.)
