I really should think more before I take on transcription projects. These projects are all personal, by the way. They have nothing to do with work. I undertake these projects because (a) I think the information is important, (b) I don't want the information to be *lost*, and (c) because I want to *master* the information, i.e., I want to understand it in a way that just reading it won't do.
But somewhere in there, when I'm trying to decipher someone's crabbed or undecipherable handwriting (usually in pencil, mind you), or make out what's on 30 or 40 year old faded photocopies of photocopies, I really begin to question my sanity.
And at the moment, I'm doing TWO of these projects. What WAS I thinking?
