It's amazing how bad I am at estimating how long simple tasks* will take.

I had a nearly finished manuscript. I just needed to tidy a few things in it and then upload for review

Two hours tops I told my family.

*Manuscript describes 4 years of work by 5 different Regional Climate Modelling groups over the Arctic and the Antarctic and collectively we produced around 8 Petabytes of #climate model output

Not quite LOTR, but not far off.

Ah!
If only it was as easy as " send me your OrcID within two weeks"....

It really shouldn't have to be that much work to give due credit.

@folfdk @Ruth_Mottram I had a coauthor change his name between two revisions at one point. That was not a trivial thing to update...
