Okay, beat my job!
I get to scan music at my church for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Scan, save. Scan, save. Scan, save.
For eight hours.

Explain scanning. Barcodes? Or is this a visual thing?

I was going to make an "MS Paint your summer job" thread once I got a copy of MS Paint that wasn't completely worthless again. Ah well, this will do.
I shove around big wooden skids on a big metal pallet jack and put lots of boxes on them. And sometimes I have to tie things with rubber bands. I do thise for eight hours every week day starting at 7 in the goddamn AM.
It's actually not so bad.

Scan as in, place first page of music on flat-bed scanner, click OK, click Save As after watching the little light go by. Turn the page. Repeat. Repeat.
I did 600 pages today.

Mine doesn't win, but I thought I'd share anyway.
I work in a tape library. I do various things with these tapes, like pull them off of their shelves, put them on their shelves, take them out of boxes, put them in boxes, scan them (barcodes), stack them, find them when they get lost, put them in drives, take them out of drives, rearrange them in numerical order, etc. It's very boring. But, I only work 6 hours per shift, so I can't complain.
I'll also be "working" at school for 8 weeks doing research. That will include lots and lots of reading and writing about democratization in the Middle East. But, that should actually be interesting.

I work with people from the Main Line. That is, snobby, jockish little fucks with plaid shorts and popped-collar polo shirts. Oh, and their parents, whose faces have been botoxed and lifted so many times, their skin hangs off their bones. Well, not really, but that'd be pretty nasty.
I put up with foolish, futile complaints, I correct mistakes that weren't made by either myself or my employers, all the while putting up with bitchy managers who are higher up the food chain than I.
Oh, to be specific, I sell bagels.
