wow, love this thread concept, worth a necro..
Driving a city bus
fired: i'd be frustrated by the group-disciplinary position whenever there's trouble on the bus, and i wouldn't be hiding it very well.
Interviewing on the telephone
i might be able to enjoy this, make my little fun mind-games to stress out my victims.
Cleaning an office building
in jail for putting toxic cleaning products in the favorite coffee cup of whoever keeps putting gum under the printer desk.
Keeping inventory of a storage hall
i could manage it barely, i'd be incredibly forgetful, feeling bad about my performance like a fish rated at tree climbing, and looking for things outside of work to remind myself of my competence.
Offering product samples in the mall
sounds like lower version of what i've being quite good at (mall kiosk sales), i'd feel everything is going way to easy and miss a sense of challenge.
Filling candy machines
i might enjoy the quiet time and independence, just moving from place to place filling up the machines, "hey retail fredy, how's the wife?"
Writing data from papers to a database
i've done that.. barely tolerable even with tv in the background.
Assembling simple products
i've done that too: moved from place to place on the production line every two weeks until i nearly knew the whole thing, and even then only tolerable when you are friends with the people working by your side.
