[minendo]

Ive been sitting at this computer for an hour and 15 minutes now and its like ill never get to go home. My job is to simply monitor the computer lab and answer any user questions. its easy i know and im just glad that i have anandtech to pass the time.

How bout this job I had in early College (recent grad now):

Sit in front of a computer for 8 hours and watch network/server/daemon status?

You hope something goes wrong so you have something to do!
Fortunately, I had three seperate computers so I could browse the web/play games (only on graveyard shift tho)/etc...

I used to volunteer at this college, where there is pretty much nothing to do and I had to pretty much beg for some duties. I was like an assisstance there,i t was that boring.

I had a summer job--8 hours a day, sitting in an office. Hopefully, there were some handicapped parking spots viewable from the window and I watched those all day looking for accidents.

About 3 accidents/week, so at least some entertainment.
