Wrestling an octopus. Climbing a hill of sand. Drinking from a fire hose. Do any of those idioms describe your work?

Maybe some of them will work for you, too!</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">General Topics</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8601">2019-05-03</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Conference or Workshop Item</mods:genre></mets:xmlData></mets:mdWrap></mets:dmdSec><mets:amdSec ID="TMD_eprint_1854"><mets:rightsMD ID="rights_eprint_1854_mods"><mets:mdWrap MDTYPE="MODS"><mets:xmlData><mods:useAndReproduction>
