    Default Again and again and again and again and again...

    Right now at my job, at the local sports centre, me and another guy are painting an entire gymnasium. It's oh so boring, mainly because it's very repetitive and it just takes such a god damn long time! We've been painting for 4 days now (8 hours a day), and we won't be finished for at least another week or maybe even longer. Luckily the guy I'm working with is one of my friends, so we joke around, which we have to to not become insane. I'll be a very happy panda once the job's done.

    Anyway, what's the most repetitive job you've ever had?

    Doing delivery. Delivery entails taking some packaged clothes out of a tote (box) filled with lots of clothes. You unpack the clothes, you unfold the clothes, you throw the rubbish away, you then tag, hang, and cube the clothes so that they're ready to be put onto the shop floor. After you've finished one tote, you move onto the next. There's usually about 20 totes.

    I worked at HMV for my work experience. It was terrible, all we did was stick stickers on CDs and then security tag them, I was so glad that work experience had been shortened to one week instead of two.

    Filing completed insurance claims according to month... *shudders*

    Do you have any idea how full the shelf for "April" got? We actually had to split it onto a different shelf elsewhere in the office, and only after I got pissed off and told other staff to stop expecting me to break the laws of physics!

    I need spontaneity. I quit my last job because it was repetitive.

    I had to count money at Norwegian Wood, which is a music festival here in Norway that lasts for 4 days straight. Counting is KINDA repetitive and we obviously weren't able to wrap up the counting until the festival ended and the stands were closed, so late night + counting is a bad thing. We got free food and drinks though as well as two free tickets for Alanis Morissette the last day. Of course, I had to work so I gave them away.

    Motion tracking.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    This one. Entering publications into Endnote or entering endless amounts of data into an Excel file is like *_* Luckily I have access to the internet and can spend half my time procrastinating.

    I dunno why, but "Norwegian Wood" is one of the funniest things I've ever read. xD

    It's one of my favorite Beatles songs though
