I've tried talking to the career development people about it and they said that paperwork is likely to happen in the beginning but come on now, its mindless and boring to say the least. It sure is a waste, and they grade you on it too. The site supervisor gave 2's and 3's no 1's which is top of the line, I really don't like it one bit and trying to talk to the supervisor is like trying to talk to the president she is always too busy, either on the phone or doing something else. But thanks for the input it really helps to be verified!!
