Forgot how time consuming ladder back jacquard is

I do a fair bit of colourwork but don't often do ladder back jacquard as I usually don't have super long floats. I've designed a hat with some very long floats so thought to myself, no problem I'll do ladder back jacquard, and promptly forgot about it as I did the miles of rib.

Set up with a ladder every 5 stitches and started on the with colourwork and promptly remembered why I tend to do colourwork that doesn't have long floats or intarsia. It's so time consuming doing the ladders. I'm only 4 rows in to the colourwork and I'm already annoyed. Luckily it's only 25 rows.

Anyone else have a technique they forgot annoys the heck out of them and then starts a project where it's needed only to remember how much of a pain it is?
