If you like work in general, then either you are very easily entertained, or you have never had a truly boring job.

Have you ever worked on a factory line for 40 hours a week on minimum wage, doing something only slightly too complicated for a machine?

Sort of, I’ve washed dishes for a living, bussed tables at an Outback steakhouse, worked as a line cook, stocked groceries at Kroger, and am now a professional software engineer and hobbyist artist.

My favorite gig was probably stocking groceries, as I enjoyed my coworkers and working at night.

Almost all of these jobs have been “truly boring”, but I’ve also been unemployed and completely without direction. That period of my life was very difficult, and I found that work, no matter how boring the job is, afforded me a dignity and purpose that I couldn’t find anywhere else. Of course, others may feel differently, and I understand that.
