lol When i saw this thread i knew i had to answer it! For 17 years i have been working in a factory where 99% of the time i am doing repetitive hand work. Grabbing something,sticking it into a machine and pressing down on the pedal and it puts something on it and then i grab the next one,a few thousand times a day. The only way to sanely make it through your day is to put your mind somewhere else. I frequently daydream. Create a story in my head. Or i think of what i'm gonna do when i get home,or the following weekend. It helps that i have co workers to talk to,sometimes...but you don't,so,one suggestion i have for you is maybe you can somehow download Steve and Erin's podcasts? Some of them are half an hour long,maybe more. I am not sure if they are downloadable for iPods though. Also,there are limitless amounts of books on cd you can get. I personally would never get sick of 10 hours a day listening to music,maybe you just need more music? lol (by the way,i'm a Tool fan too!) |
