Mine was working for a company assembling this http://www.cordek.co.uk/cellcore_products.html
Hours and hours of repetitive work And always the same result ....the only thing was trying to beat the time that you could assemble one unit in

When I left school I got a job on an agency for a few months until I found what I was looking for. Two of the jobs I got was a litter picker/street cleaner and at a sandwich factory washing the floors. Thank god I only did those once each.

I used to work for a forestry company. I spent 3 weeks banging fence posts into the ground with a big hand held post banger (we called a gut buster), it was SO boring. The up side was that my arms and back were like Arnold Schwarzenegger's.

I also spent 2 weeks turfing the edge of a big overspill lake. The very last day we finished, it rained like nothing else and washed all the turf away, so we had to do it all again.
