I've been working a boring arse job though a temp service. They told us on our lunch break that all the temps would be working 7 days a week 5:30pm to 4am starting tomorrow *thurs*.. *Sigh* it wouldnt be so bad.. If it wasn't so effin boring.. If I had someone to talk to or a radio or something other than the sounds of the machines.. Ok now I'm done with my rant.. Anyone else endured boring jobs like this for long hrs at a time?

Don't feel too bad, as you're still pullin' down a paycheck.

I work in the film business, and I'm about to get the hell out. The hours suck (they're totally non-standard and chances are REALLY good you'll be working 18+ hour days... or nights), and the amount of white-collar thievery on the parts of the producers on a show is just amazing.

But the worst is the lack of appreciation, respect, or consideration on the part of others- they want to throw you in, do the job, and get the heck out without so much as a thank you.

And THEN there's the non-steady nature of the paycheck- you'll be working for a couple of weeks, and then NOT working for months on end. Being in the union won't help, as the callboard won't do much to get hooked-up with work.

So working in the movie biz isn't something I'd recommend.

Wow. That sucks! Sorry to hear that. Na never really seemed like something I'd be good at. Although being a director would be cool for something like a music video but that's about as far as my directing talent could go.

There was a time that I had a job that consisted of 4 hours of screwing around, 2 hours of actual work and about 2 hours of paperwork justifying my 8. After about 2 years, I begged to be laid off, and went into another field based on skills I taught myself out of boredom and ambition. The boring job was as an electromechanicl technician in the aerospace industry.


It's mostly about attitude.

i have a cousin that travels around and does sound stage for the singers, and she did sound stage for julian lennon one yr.. im sure she gets bord for i know she took some time off for awhile.
she even did sound stage for marilyn mason and gave my nephews tickets for the concert

Trying working at a hotel at night, when there is absolutely nothing going on. I even had to turn the TV off in the lobby tonight because the guest in the room behind it wanted it completely off, not just turned down. There is no one up at this time of day, except you guys!!

yeah my jobs boring at times but considering the economy today I'm very happy to have a job.
