My job is dead boring. Whole day in and out, I just have to do data entry. We have to set up accounts for customers, so the job is just data entry of names, addresses, phone and whatever else they want to put in.

I no longer work at a job per se. When I did I was mostly at my cubicle, on the phone, on the computer, doing paperwork and other mundane stuff. But, I was always having fun. I was the only guy surrounded by six women, one of which was only sixteen. So, I had lots of fun joking and talking and sharing. It was good. My function was credit and collections manager for a major national company.

Wow, your job sure is boring, but your colleagues sound nice and fun. I think they always tease you, and make you laugh. Credit and collection must be quite stressful with management breathing down your neck.

@scheng1 Not as bad a job as you would think. There is always room for innovative ideas in procedure etc...I used to love going to court to sue due to breach of contract. We once decided to hire a lawyer to do the job but that turned out to be a waste of money. I was also allowed to go out of town to do audits with our larger companies like the chemical plants etc...Pretty cool job. I did it 6 years until I had a feeling the company was going to be bought out. So, I left and sure enough, three months later they closed down. Go figure.

My job isn't boring when I have something to do. I love teaching and seeing my students. It just sucks when I have no class and I'm just sitting at my desk with nothing to do.

Our teachers here are very busy and stressed up. They have to mark a lot of papers and they have to set examination and test papers. On top of that, they have to take charge of one or more extra-curriculum activities.

some data entry jobs give incentives based on quantity and accuracy

My job has no such benefit. If we have to stay back to finish our work when there is high volume, there is no extra pay. It is very demoralizing to stay back and work for free.

@hereandthere Not at all. There is no benefit when we work late, and we do not even have the choice to come to work late the next day.

Your job is about as boring as my job. The only comfort is that your job allows you to exercise but mine is a sitting job.
