I'm just curious. My job is mind-numbingly, brain jellingly, suicide inducingly boring.

How about you?

My job wouldn't be so bad if they didn't discourage talking in the office and taking breaks. It's weird.

I get to hang out with my friends, walk around campus writing parking tickets, and laughing at all the drunken whores stumbling back from frat parties. I like it.

I sit at my desk and listen to people explain why it should be a priority that their printer isn't working when they have 3 more available choices...

I voted 1.

I sit in a chair for 8 hours and do absolutely nothing. I could not go in for a week and my productivity would not go down. I literally sit in a chair an BS with a few friends at work for 8 hours and then go home.

I'd give mine a high 8, low 9 - I just drive around delivering pizzas in my Scion, plus people give me money all the time :)

What do you do?

I lift heavy things all day, take orders from a$$holes, get paid $7 an hour straight time, $8 cash for OT pay (they are cheap asses), work 55+ hours a week. No fun at my job.

Holy crap you guys rock. Is your boss like a friend of yours like you're all together in some kind of small business?

I guess I don't know how to take this post. But, you seem content with doing nothing for 8 hours day. Correct?

I guess I just want more out of life and love being challenged in what I do.

not boring, but nothing exciting at the present time. hoping a business venture soon to take place will take off... it is my dream job... and hopefully a few of us can put our heads and $ together to make it happen.

my job is pretty stressful, i take about 30+ phone calls a day(technical sales) from mindless idiots that wants to waste a few grand on equipment that they have no concept of. if i didnt have to take any phone calls i would rate it a 10 because i get to surf the web all day, chat online, eat, drink (sometimes liquor), and take a smoke break every 15min. o yeah, my boss is pretty kewl too, he wants to play game everyday after work, but by that time we are all exhausted and just want to go home.

Well I'm a student, I had a job before this but I had to move. So far so good, but here you do have to study a lot.

Last night I went to a UT2004 tournament in the library, it was a blast. I met some gamer guys like me, even some on my floor. Almost won an ipod too, I did get a nice shirt though.

I was on the big screen projector quite a bit from all the rounds I won =)
