My '30 years on the job' job was often boring to other folks, but i found i loved it. Some folks find doing a task very rewarding. It is all in how one thinks about it.
Sometime I would fantasize "I am a robot"....If the task was particularly repetitive... fun, yes.
The best part is i can do anything no matter how monotonous, now. (If i feel like it)
Where way too many people now can only do something for five seconds and give up. (Like looking through thousands of used CDs in the discount shelving at a local store. I go about once a month so the stock has changed enough to make it worthwhile, I can sit and look through every single one, a handful at a time. 3 hours straight no problem. The rewards are i find all sorts of great stuff. I have NEVER seen another person be able to look for more than five minutes before they give up.
Maybe i should get a job at Bryston?
I actually have pride in what i do when working and that is the number one job skill i would think they want! My second is doing it right or not doing it at all!
PS Jim Tanner: No way am I gonna get off my (now) fat arse to work, what with a great pension (our plan belongs to us workers, and has 5 Billion$$$ in it..).. and Social Security coming in a few more months.. I'll be raking in more than I did when i actually had a job.!!!
And i bought my Bryston stuff with the retirement bonus they suckered me out the door with..
