pete_inthehills Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 I do. Let me tell you what I do.Each morning I go in to my room which consists of me, a computer and 400 boxes. I open up a box and pull out a report. I check to see if that report in on our database. If it is I throw it away, and reach for another document. If it isn't, I stick a barcode on it, type the details in to the database put it in a different box and reach for another document. One document at a time, one box after another, on and on and on....There is no one to talk to. Just me, my computer and my boxes. lots of boxes.I've been doing this for 18 months now. When all the boxes are gone. I get another delivery.peteNOTinthehills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest onlynik Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Surely a drilling engineer has a boring job.My job can be tedious at times, being stuck offshore, waiting for the chopper to come and get you in 2 days, when you have no work to to and you are just wasting your time away.Other days its so busy that it just flys by. I like my job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 If you're bored with your job, try care work. Rewarding in the non-financial sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 To be honest, if and when I stop working for FireFly, if I cant get another job in the games industry, Care Work is the one I'd go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Craig C Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 I work in a photography shop. Nothing special about it at all. Although the banter from customers can sometimes be good. Especially when it's drunk old people wandering into the shop from Wilsons Bar next door.Nope, my job is pretty 'normal' as it were. Although we've had a sewer problem for the past few months, so every now and then, the smell of warm piss and shit appears. Oh, and we seem to have a woodfly infestation as well Fun times...
