documentation and other things you probably don't like

Lets face it, most people do not like documentation. Taking notes, summarizing things, and ordering them is not a task that is overly enjoyable to most.
Just like my greenhouse job, not for most people, but good thing I am not most people. You guessed it, I like doing documentation. Its kinda fun to research things and compile notes, learning a lot along the way. It helps to develop good memory and observational skills, its good for my brain.
I document all kinds of things, depending on what I am working on. Right now its a personal but potential business project, and it has me reading about the history of inventory management. Just when you thought documentation couldn't get worse, reading about inventory management, supply chain management, and supply and demand; it's enough to push someone over the edge.
How is it possible that I also find the subject as interesting as documenting it!? I'm a geek, I'm a nerd. Its okay, when someone calls themselves those things they are terms of endearment. Its okay that I enjoy these things that are somewhat abnormal to enjoy. Things that many people would find mundane and tedious are almost the opposite for me. I am who I am. Someone has to do these tasks anyway, so it might as well be someone who doesn't dread the very thought of it.
I like that I enjoy tasks that most people don't. For starters, not many people are doing them, which often means I can work on them solo - very ideal for me! But when there is a team effort, having these tasks taken care of by an eager person rather than someone who feels they are a chore just makes the project/work go that much smoother. (Not that I am speaking from real experiences, this is more of an idealism. History has shown me that my helpfulness and eagerness are not always appreciated, I must learn to alter my approach...).
When it comes to tasks like these, I think of that old adage (my Mom used to say it too) "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade." In other words, make the best of every situation. If you have to do something, might as well make it as enjoyable as possible! Grumbling about it certainly won't make it any better (trust me, I have also done my fair share of grumbling too!)
