Long and Boring and Productive.

 And sometimes that's just how the day goes. It's not necessarily a bad thing but it can feel kinda weird or annoying at times. "The grind" can sometimes be unnecessarily glorified... but the intensity of "the grind" is really where it should be assessed for its relevance, quality, or importance. Keep it just out of the self-destruction zone and you'll be in good shape, I'd say.
