Getting it done with a Zebra

I suppose the analogy says it all. It’s simple to get your tasks done in a zip and that you can see everything in black and white. But not all is as it seems. The thing itself is quite bulky. It’s too big to fit into a pocket, but it does come with an elasticated strap so that you can wear it on your wrist and pretend that you’re the company version of Iron Man; even though you’re only armed with a barcode scanner and very basic AI that you’re probably going to argue with every time it holds you up. But first, you’ve got to unlock the thing by remembering the password that you’ve been given. Then after choosing the task that you want to do; you’ve got to log into that as well; assuming that you’re using the right password for the right button. And if nothing seems to be happening almost instantly; you’ve got to decide whether it’s worth holding out or whether it’s quicker to re-boot the thing and start the whole damn process again.
