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.
