There are tasks which are complicated and interesting, like assembling the Large Hadron Collider, or a turkey dinner.
Some tasks are complicated and boring. Answering phones for Canada Post, hoping that someday every woman in Canada gains a sense of perspective and a hobby, is both really complicated and desperately boring.
Albeit occasionally entertaining. I'm looking at you, Really Important Sandals.
Simple tasks can be boring too, like cataloguing all the screws in the garage by elicited emotional response, or mowing the lawn.
My favourite though, my favourite tasks are those moments when simplicity and fascination melt together and I spend an entire autumn afternoon searching for the most perfect apple on the tree.
Is today that day?
