Some enjoy monotonous chores, like my maid

This maid who was hitherto going form house to house doing the same jobs day in and day out is now working for us full time. I chalk out a programme for her for the day which obviously is not the same every day.
Apparently while she enjoys the time she spends with us she says she would have been happier if she was given the same job every day. Goodness me I say!! I like variety.
I call that a conveyor belt type of job where only hands do the job but the brain is not involved.
What kind of jobs do you like to do?

@JudyEv When I was working I had an assistant who liked doing routine jobs.
At a Master Chef show here there was this guy who was great at chopping. I think he got a job as chopper at one of the hi fi restaurants (lol)

@allknowing That is true too. They can't have much ambition or they'd go crazy doing the same thing over and over.

I do not do the same things every day either I try to change the way I do them whether I don´t like what I am doing or not.

@allknowing
The only thing I do is the shopping always the same way otherwise I might forget the whole list.
If I were to start backwards with the list I might in fact I would forget most of the main stuff as I have a proper routine for this all the time.
Now I am getting myself into a twist but I think you know what I mean.
I am methodical and very when it comes to shopping for food.
There got it in a nutshell.

I like variety too and so even a routine job I do it in a different way (lol)

@lovinangelsinstead21 You must be doing other chores as well which may or may not be monotonous?

I'm kind of a combination of both. I actually do like work that keeps my hands busy so my mind can engage in other things, but I also like variety. One of the reasons that temping is so fun for me is that I can go to different businesses and learn different types of things,

Variety indeed is the spice of life and you are clever that you choose to do tasks that can engage your brain elsewhere sometimes. .

@AliCanary I have seen so many doing that while they are travelling. They can chat and knit at the same time (lol)

@allknowing - I like to knit while I watch television, especially, because I realize watching TV is a waste of time, lol

To cater to our colourful life there will surely be different jobs that she would have to do (lol) A maid can surely use her brain but that should go along with what I would want her to do. Are you ready? (lol)

@allknowing I am ready for those kinds of work but no, I am in my age to not work so much. I just work for my pleasure and not for money itself

I like a job where I am in full control . . . I am not a "team" person. I like variety too, but that calls for bigger challenges . . . sometimes I do like monotonous jobs so I don't get too stressed out (but I would have to fight the boredom).

@allknowing I've never actually had such a monotonous job, but sometimes I've thought about how appealing that is. Ah, so you are the leader type! I don't like being the leader or the follower (all too many reasons to state) . . . . I just like to be a one woman show whenever possible .

@much2say I too am like you in that being my own boss with none to worry me is what I choose. But if I am in a team then I like to lead.

If one wants to stay from stress the convey belt system job is ideal but not as a daily feature. I like being in a team provided I lead the team (lol)

She knows where her bread is buttered and therefore may as well accept the boredom of variety (lol)

That is not a monotonous job. That is an interesting job.
