I'm still bored
" Staring at the wall. "You got paid (or received some other compensation) for staring at a wall?
" What's the award? "Probably a Blue Ribbon. Have you ever checked out my Pulp Fiction Game thread? I also give out trophies and championship belts.
@Roxanne Starr said:My bad." Jeeze, Edamame, I was trying to find out about people's boring JOBS! :) "Nowhere in the OP does it implicate jobs. "
I meant something boring that you got paid for...or compensated for in any other way.
I worked on a conveyer belt in a potato chip factory for a day.
It was quality control. Got so bored I started to just watch the potatoes go by and see if I could recognise them when they came round again.

(I'm smelling a winner here already.)
I was supposed to inspect 'em once and remove or fix any bad ones. Lost interest pretty quick though.
" @Roxanne Starr said:You don't care, but I do!!!" @Edamame said:As long as I am making money, I could care less how boring the job was. I love money. "@Roxanne Starr said:My bad.

"" Jeeze, Edamame, I was trying to find out about people's boring JOBS! :) "Nowhere in the OP does it implicate jobs. "
Play the contest, man! :D
I work in a gas station doing maintenance. Cleaning up the place is what I'm paid to do and it's boring as hell.
@Roxanne Starr said:Not as boring as that potato chip job." @Edamame said:Ja, ja. I don't enjoy typing. I find that boring. Happy? "You don't care, but I do!!! Play the contest, man! :D "
The scrubbing toilets job may be kinda boring, but I would think that just coming up with ways to suppress the urge to vomit would be somewhat of a challenge.
" I was supposed to inspect 'em once and remove or fix any bad ones. Lost interest pretty quick though. "LOL! How does one "fix" a bad potato chip?
" @Roxanne Starr said:Vomit or not vomit, surgery isn't boring, Edamame." @Edamame said:One can also vomit when performing surgery for multiple reasons. "Not as boring as that potato chip job.

Potato chip man is still winning.
" @Gylan Thomas said:Slice it or bin it." I was supposed to inspect 'em once and remove or fix any bad ones. Lost interest pretty quick though. "LOL! How does one "fix" a bad potato chip? "
It was borin' as hell.
The souls of everyone else there had dryed up and died. No one spoke to each other or even looked up.
I couldn't do it. Didn't even finish the day.
No, no...print it out, glue it on your chest, and wear it to your present job. tee-hee.
" @Gylan Thomas:My chest?
No, no...print it out, glue it on your chest, and wear it to your present job. tee-hee. "
You mean like my shirt or something, right?
I got a Sean Connery/ Austin Powers chest. I could maybe tie it in there.
" @Roxanne Starr said:Yes, glue it to your shirt...you'll look so upper-crust." @Gylan Thomas:My chest? You mean like my shirt or something, right? I got a Sean Connery/ Austin Powers chest. I could maybe tie it in there. "
No, no...print it out, glue it on your chest, and wear it to your present job. tee-hee. "

Or a pretty pouch in a dog show?
:D
I can't believe that there has been over 100 views on this boring little thread.
You're a star now, Gylan!
I'm bored again, so it's time for another contest. This time, instead of telling me about your boring job, tell me about your (in other people's minds) boring hobby.
Reading comic books is excluded!
"Dang it, I didn't even know about this thread. I had to stuff envelopes for a few straight days, I don't know whether that's more or less boring than potato chip inspector. As for hobbies, jeez, I don't know. I don't really have any hobbies. I used to collect stamps. "
Fail. :(
I think stamp collecting is a fascinating hobby!!!
After all, what you are dealing with is tiny limited edtions of commercial art.
And stuffing envelopes is just another chore that most of us have had to face at least once in our lives...and choose to pass up the second time it is offered to us. :-)
" @Roxanne Starr: Sob, sob! I'm sorry, I guess my life just isn't boring enough to satisfy you! "
Check your Yahoo email, Jotham.
I think I may have stumbled across the most boring hobby ever. If indeed it is actually a hobby to begin with. More likely, it is some sort of pathology.
i was actually assigned NO KID to watch paint dry for a few hours so i knew when it was safe to walk on

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tell us!!!
The Capers Comic idea came from me being bored at work. I was thinking of what some characters would say in a "Rap battle" and since Feather is a sweetheart platic man was created first of the capers. A few more are in the works as we speak.
Oh and how I was "paid" for it I was still on the clock at staples. I wrote raps for Plas, Catwoman and Deadpool when I should of been picking product in the warehouse.
I had a dancing bear job for an insurance company. There are only so many times you can do the running man or the jitterbug before you realize everything is pointless.
My toilet is fixed! Bob and I wen t over to my condo and he did the deed!!!Talking to Roxanne Star.
Then we went over to the Dollar Store and bought soap and a flashlight. We also got a 3D place mat picturing dogs at the beach. I will scan it in a little bit.
