Wasting Time

In my line of work as a programmer, I waste a lot of time trying to avoid wasting time. I can't stand to have to do any sort of manual work so I usually end up spending so much time writing code to avoid manual labor that I could've just done the manual labor and been finished faster. Case in point - today I spent 2 hours trying to code a way to pull a set of criteria that changed for each state, instead of manually typing out 50 different criteria sets. Probably just typing the 50 different criteria sets would have taken about half an hour. But where's the fun in that?
