    Default Anyone working a job that has them bored to tears?

    I am, and I loathe every single second of it. My job is so brain dead, I would be bored with it after a lobotomy. And before you ask, I have a miserable job in retail, that I could write a thousand volume text about my misery and woe. I mean seriously, I'm pretty good at mental math and memorization so I can "ring" customers up in my mind. Like let's say a customer brings up a few items, which I know the prices of, I'll be like, "Alright that comes to $37.98", and then scan the items and have them come up exactly at that price. Anyone else working a sub-retard level job?

    You might be able to make it more interesting Byte...

    partition the hard drives. install puppy linux and claim half of all the computers as your own.

    Or you could net send all the computers that you install random messages like there is a moth on the motherboard please blow into the fan vent to remove.
    You sir, are a specialist in the art of discovering a welcoming outcome of a particular situation....not a mechanic.

    My feedback add 11-12 ish before the great servpocaylpse of 2012

    It could be worse...
    You could have a boss/coworkers whose hobby is making your life hell.
    Been there done that. They ruined an otherwise interesting and decent paying job.

    Now I have a great boss and the job is a mix of interesting and routine.
    Considering the alternatives I'm a happy camper.

    I've been driving a truck since my wife and I closed our business. There is nothing more mind numbing than that!
