The Most Boring Jobs Ever

msRN2u

in reply to sgromey I TOTALLY AGREE. Nothing is more boring or inane than government job. I have actually gone to my boss and practically begged for more to do. That is a BIG no-no in gov't jobs, since one person admitting that it's a scam might draw attention to the fact that everyone else is doing nothing. You would not believe that things ppl come up with to justtify their existence around here. I have been told by everyone that I am crazy to even admit this with my nice pay and benes. Question is, how long can I stand it???

When I was a student I had a summer painting boards, it was the most boring job ever! Standing in one place, do the same hand movements, no interaction with anyone else.

I am the receptionist at a lavish law firm. In at 9, out at 6. My only real duties: route incoming calls, greet clients (which is rare) and offer them a beverage. The phone rings about 15x per day; sometimes it will not ring for 2 hours or more. I can surf anything I want, watch movies, or make personal calls if I choose but I am chained to my desk unless Im peeing (must ask) or... well, leaving for lunch is futile- we are in bfe. If i am this bored I should get paid to eat, so I pack a lunch. Unless we have clients, I have little human interaction all day. Been here 5 months; not long enough to look good on a resume. I have googled everything, played games, talked, emailed, looked up old freinds, painted nails, make-up (morning ritual), movies, even babysat the boss's kid- a true highlight. I need to: a) quit; b) learn how to pleasure myself at desk; or c) start wearing belts around my throat so when I really hit a wall I can give it a tug to make sure I am still alive.

I think i have one of the most boring jobs ever created. I work at the front desk at a hotel. There isn't enough to do in a 8 hour time frame. I get to fold towels and sheets and set up breakfast in the mornings. I also had a security job a few years back where i sat at a desk for 8 hours. I had 2 rounds to make that took maybe a whole 10 minutes to complete.

Ah, boring jobs. If you want to be really bored AND make pretty good money, accept a business analyst job somewhere in the DC area, and better yet, wrok for the government or a government contract (or similar position). I am paid 110K, "work" (If I would call it that) maybe an hour or so a day, and people happily sign my time sheets week after week. In fact, the real rule here is "don't ask, don't tell." I am just amazed that the rest of the world produces real sh*t, and most American push paper around a desk. Of course, the real secret is that few people would ever admit to having a boring job! The more evolved you are, the more boring office work is...even if you have letters behind your name and a fancy title to boot!
