Like I said earlier in the week, reputation grinds are the bane of my existence. I just get too easily distracted and want to go do something “fun”. Sometimes though I manage to buckle down and plow through a set amount of grinding and just get it done. Don’t bother talking to me while I’m doing it, cos I’m oblivious to everything else. It’s how I made it through the Netherwing grind this past weekend: purely from gritting my teeth and saying “no, dammit, I’m finishing this TONIGHT!”
Then there are the rep grinds that I don’t even realize are happening. Violet Eye from Karazhan would be that kind of grind. I mean, yeah, my brain realized that there was grinding going on, that I was getting reputation from killing all these mobs. But it’s not til the green flash of light goes off that I realized that “Hey! I’ve been getting rep for the past two hours! Sweet!” I like those grinds. 
I’ve found that the Shattered Sun Offensive is a similar rep grind for me. No, I still haven’t set foot into Magister’s Terrace, either the 5 man or 25 man versions. The only rep I’ve gotten has been from doing the dailies which I haven’t been doing daily. More like every 3 or 4 days. Maybe. Yet yesterday I still managed to hit Revered with SSO and pick up a new sword from the rep rewards for Siana. I suppose that once I get Siana Exalted, I might as well start doing them on the mage again. So I’m slow at dailies. Sue me. 
But I just can’t sit there for 2 hours and do them all, then do it all over again on another character. It would make my brain pop.
But I still have a list of reps that I want to grind out for Siana. I want to get a Talbuk for her. I want Exalted from the Consortium. I still need that last bit of Honor Hold rep to get Exalted. And so on. Will I get them done? Hopefully. And when I get them done, maybe I can go back and finish getting all the Alliance racial faction up. Noooo I’m not slow at all. Why do you ask? >.>

I feel your pain. I can’t stand rep grinds that are actual grinds. I find I start trying to grind out the rep and after about half an hour it’s…ooh, shiny! And off I go chasing whatever it was that distracted me. No, I’m not ADD at all… >.>
lol yeah I still find it amazing that I actually got fishing up to 280-something recently. Actually spent two whole hours fishing and jsut about fell over when I realized how far I’d gotten. Damn grinds!
Oh I soooo feel your pain there - I’m crap at rep grinding
I’m awful at gold-grinding too. In fact, I’m bad at pretty much all kinds of (wow-related) grinding. /groan.
You’re one up on me with the fishing, mine is dwindling somewhere around 130… I WILL get it maxed one day, really I will!
I’m the freak, I find fishing fun and relaxing…
In the immortal words of Ratshag, rep grinds is da poop.
I’m not sure how I managed to completely end up obsessing over fishing that night. I do know that obsession’s not come back. Oh noes, i’m burned out on fishing grinding!
