Thanks for the tips, but I hope I never need to use them again.


See, challenging implies that it was difficult at first, which allowed me some opportunities at learning and ultimately becoming better, then success and finally triumph! None of that happened here. Just plain tedious little task that was difficult and ultimately annoying to complete.
