- Retra 12y agoYou are correct. Let's just call it "one of the more tolerable things" then. (That lacks the same rhetorical punch, I must admit...)

- fudged71 12y agoThe funny thing is that having access to many "boring" jobs that you can switch between might actually be interesting. Running a startup, I find it pretty cool to wear as many hats as I do. Some days we are dealing with contracts, some days it's scouting new office locations and painting, some days we're imaging hundreds of SD cards, or doing customer development, or pitching to investors, or shooting videos. Seperately, each of these things could be horrible mindless jobs. But together, it's a great experience. But I don't know if that's simply because there's a common end goal.
