The most boring job in the world...

I have spent most of the last two days in work preparing for our stocktake at the end of the month, where we have to count everything in the store.

part of the preparation is reconciling the CD's. basically, when a CD comes in, we put the cases out on the stand, but keep the CD's in a plastic wallet somewhere else with a matching number on the back of the case and the wallet. Before every stocktake, we have to reconcile the number on the back of the CD with the number on the wallet, which is THE most time consuming and brain-numbingly boring job that is neccessary.

It got me thinking...

What must be the most boring job in the world?

I had a few ideas:

1. Paperclip Factory Worker
2. I.T. Consultant for the Amish Community (not much career progression there)
3. Blackpool Rock Imprinter
4. Creche Worker in Age Concern
5. Cultural Attaché to Mr Blobby
6. Manufacturer of Giant Print Pocket Bibles (no-one would believe you)
7. Close Protection Officer to the Pacifist Society

Hmmm there's a few, any ideas anyone?
