Sounds like some of the work I did in my old place. I have a collection
of CAD drawings where I calculated the angles & dimensions to get the EMT
bends just right. That was all going box to box, so I didn't have the
issue I've got now. Regular bends weren't too bad. The thing I always
hated was doing small offsets to get from a flat surface up & into a box.

They make offset fittings for doing just exactly that.
