MY job is Painfully boring.   I can literally do my job with my eyes closed.  The worst part is, is that I build pistols for a living.  Recently, I spoke the entire worded scripts start to finish to "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" AND "Dumb and Dumber" just to kill time....

Boredom beyond anything imaginable....

Lemme guess.

Springfield Armory?

I work at a Restaurant, so depending on how busy it is, it can either be boring as fuck, or extremly stressful...

I have noticed though that when it is really busy and stressful, the time just flys by and I'm in and out of there in what feels like 10 mins

What do you exactly do on the pistol assembly line?

Build 1911 A1 pistols from scratch.  Fit frames to slides, add sights, fit the safeties, gauge the hammer, set sear springs, set triggers, freakin everything.  Which sounds like alot, but once you do it a few thousand times, its fucking cake work.

You a waiter aswell?
Hate standing around doing nothing! Then again I hate it when customers come in 2 minutes before kick-off expecting to be served a 3 course meal.

My job is ish-hard but gets easier over time i guess, but not good when im very tired or hung-over, i have to first measure the lenses (glasses) from the nasal to the end, then only the width of the lense, then to work out the height, i have to check the width then measure the height and half the difference between them. Thats only a fraction of what i have to do, so theres no pressure when i get someones prescription wrong and i have to start all over again

Springfield Armory kicks ass. I bought an XD45 (the tiny one) and it's my favorite gun (although the newest usually is). The double action takes some getting used to, but that little sucker packs a whallop and it hides nicely.

My job is pretty stressful, but not the way one might think. I own my company and I've got to always think about all the children of the employees and their mortgages and their lives every time I make a decision. That sucks. Every time I take on a new project or take a risk in any way I always end up wondering "okay, what if we have to cut back and let someone go, how will they feed their family".

That part sucks.

We do medical equipment and supplies to physicians and to patients, and a bunch of respiratory therapy. Back when I was the actual functioning neonatal therapist, there's some stress. Having to answer the "is my baby going to make it, I can't get a straight answer out of the doctor" question doesn't get any easier even after the 50th time you hear it.

Hey, Alabama Jones and the Busty Crusade. Somebody here worked on that. Cool. I have seen that a few times. A Skinamax movie. I thought that The Witches of Breastwick was better though.

That red headed chick doesn't do a lot for me (the one who was the wife), but the hottub scene where she was with the bigger of the three witches was pretty hot. Man those three witch chicks were sweet. The dark headed evil chick who showed up in the bedroom wasn't bad either. That was one of the better Skinamax flicks, and the Mrs. didn't seem to mind it either. The Busty Crusade though, as crazy as this sounds, had so little plot she wouldn't tolerate it. There was at least SOME acting in Breastwick. I give it one dong up. Way up...

Call Girl Wives too? Damn man you've worked on some of my favorites...

Any job can be stressful or hard, a lot of it depends on your personality.

I am too much of a perfectionist, so half the time I stress myself out worrying out things I don't need to. Which drives me nuts when I see people doing my job who don't worry, and sail through without a care in the world.

But having said that, I am pretty decent at what I do because of that attitude.

With no disrespect to people who work on factory lines (hey, my grandparents did that their whole life!), like assembling guns, that would drive me nuts. My job gives me variety, so I don't know how I would cope with the same task repeated a billion times. Clearly if you can do that you are doing a hard job!!

I repair ice cream machines for a living so needless to say during the summer it can be very busy and stressful.  However, on the flip side, I do get all the free ice cream, slushes, and shakes I can stomach.

I work 12 hours a day 5 days a week for the next 5 weeks to pay for my pc, then after that 10 hours a day... its very hard yes.

Front desk bowling alley...

summer...   400+ people a day... kids outta school with...

Mostly Moms... in tanktops... nipples.

Answer incoming phone calls... run lotto.. some stupid kids ball didnt make it all the way down the lane.... dead ball lane 6.

nobody ever gets their shoe size right.... then they need bumpers... and that ramp thingy.

The lane attendant is like 16... he hangs around the front desk... he wants to talk about games... Im a Gaming Guru to him.

After 7 years everyone knows me... as "The grumpy Guy"... yet the Moms always wink and smile.

After work there's always at least 3 people who want to buy me a drink... I decline.. I tell them I want to go home and play BF2...

Shooting the summer noobs and dorks... that's my way to relieve stress...

I fix cars.  suspension to automatics, everything except body/paint.  I used to get stressed, deadlines and asshole customers, one day I told my boss that I dont paid enough to be stessed, I figured the worst he could do was fire me.  I used to work the long hours for basically nothing extra  now I show up at ~7:59am, go to lunch between 12:00 and 1:00, and leave at 5:00.   The shop manager knows I leave at 5 and that's it.  I dont give a shit if the customer's waiting in the lobby, they can finish it themself.  There are a few nice ladies that come in, a couple MILFS but mostly just old people that all think they can do a better job.

Yeah, I'm unemployed/waiting for college to start...so my job is online gaming! So, yes it is stressful, sometimes I end up acting like our old friend Angry German Kid.
