Video Games at Work

Sometimes I have to look at course schedule change forms for which I
do not have to make any updates. In that case it’s a matter of seeing
how quickly I can accurately click certain images, just like a video
game:

Right-click on the “view task list” link.
Click on “Open in New Tab.”
(Confirm that no updates are needed.)
Click on the “Close-Tab” X.
Click in the box next to “Mark entire task list as completed.”
Click on the “Update task list” button.
Click on the “Close-Tab” X.

Repeat until finished.

Goal: complete all forms in in-box before falling asleep. Uncrossing
and re-crossing the legs in the other direction may help.

Hmm, play a similar video game here.

Click on a vendor
Click the "Edit Vendor" button
Click on the "Vendor is Inactive" box
Click on the "Save Changes" button

Repeat until finished.

But I figured out a way to shortcut the game by right-clicking the vendor and choosing "Make Inactive" from the hidden drop down menu that magically appears. I feel like I found the invisible bricks full of coins in Mario Brothers!

My condolences on the game, congrats on the invisible bricks.

No invisible bricks here. The closest was learning to open new things in new tabs while waiting for the old things to finish processing.
