Next it was employment at of all things – a toy factory. The kids were to have fun and enjoyment – all at my behest and cost. When people asked where I was employed I answered “None of your Business” hoping that I might not have to tell them the truth , and the tales of terribly abusive management and poor working conditions. So much for labor law. Since then I have found that “A real job”, or “Real Men’s Work” can be just as tedious and / or boring.
Digging ditches as well is boring and hard labor. Long haul semi-truck driving can be boring too – especially if all you see if a freeway and no scenery. It seems that you are always on a clock trying to meet deadlines and “Just in Time” deadlines. Then there is cooking and washing dishes in a diner. Or putting data in a computer. The list of potentially boring jobs and stupid managers and supervisors to go with it goes on and on , almost forever.

Import Car Canada I have worked my share of monotonous jobs. I well know how unpleasant a boring task can be. Sometimes a terrible boring job with a more terrible boss , manager or supervisor can be turned around , sometimes not. It is said that ” attitude is everything” . Some of the time it is. Some of the time it is a lost cause. Now you understand the popularity of illicit drugs and alcohol. It can only be mind over matter to a point. If the stimulus continues to bother you , Laddie its time to turn off the tv and leave the room.
At one point in my life I spent many eight hour shifts doing nothing but cutting wing slots in the sticks that became the fuselages of windup , rubber powered toy airplanes. In many cases now , outsourcing to China, India , Vietnam or the Phillipines can be considered a great and wonderful event for the American worker.
Far worse was a day of picking up those same dyed sticks out of a jumbled heap and arranging them neatly ( or not so neatly) in boxes. I did my share of that as well. Not only was it mind numbing and boring m but the dye and the dust got all over my hands and arms, made me itch – in the end , since I had only been employed at this wonderful workplace to short a time for health insurance coverage. To add insult , to injury , not only was I bored to death at ” this wonderful job and place of employment” , had abusive managers but also had to pay for the cost of medical treatment by a dermatologist as well.
