Actually - writing can be boring: when you just can't think of anything to write. I also don't mind a bit of envelope stuffing actually - it beats dish washing any day. Well perhaps if it was envelope stuffing ALL DAY. I'm closer to being a writer than to being an envelope stuffer - so perhaps that's why I see the attractions of the latter... Posted April 02, 2008 |
I think it's not only the job you do, it's also about what you do for society. In that case, almost all jobs suck big time.
Anyhow, I was wondering why Call Center wasn't on top of the list. Admit it, it's worse than being a greeter at Wal-Mart, it's pure routine, it could theoretically be done by a machine, it's just monkey-proof and the pay is crummy.

I work as the PM supervisor, 10am to 7pm each day. I come in and all my employees are already out making their deliveries. I stay in the office sitting in a chair and waiting for my employees to get back into the office before 5pm. Once they are back, I walk about 20 paces and to the printer, pull the report and then return back to my chair and wait for the truck to pick up all our shipments. I spend 30 minutes working and 8 and a 1/2 hours sitting in a chair. I will sometimes be so bored I say I'm going to lunch when I'm really going to my car to sleep for about an hour. I need more of a challenge! The guy I took over for was stressing out cause he couldn't finish everything in a day. I'm stressing cause there is no way to spread 30 minutes of work through out an 8 to 9 hour day, lunch included!

Working in a fish factory with a company obsessed management wannabe who still thinks he can run the company/the country/the economy/the Engand football team and play drums for Led Zeppelin. I now understand why people run through shopping malla with AK 47s, I now understand why people turn to heroin and alcohol, I am not agressive by nature but this job and this individual could turn the average pacifist into someone Mike TYson would be scared of.
