I actually really like repetitive assembly work! I figured I’d lose my mind from boredom doing simple repetitive tasks (grab part from bin, load into welder, activate press, inspect weld, repack into finished bin), but actually, the job is so mindless that it frees me up to daydream all night about dumb shit.
Don’t need to talk to anyone, don’t need to disrupt my work to go do other things, and I don’t need to pay attention to what anyone else is doing. I can just do my thing for eight hours, work through the plot of “hmm what would the next ten years be like if the city got nuked”, and go clock out.
