Early in my carpenter career I worked for a compony called Panalpina. All I did was build shipping crates for oddly shaped and sometimes huge stuff. The only interesting part of the job was trying to guess what the stuff was we were crating up.
Yeah, if you do it often enough, it'd get so routine as to be super boring. But at least you get to think a bit about it if each case is distinct -- as opposed to assembly line construction.
It was graveyard shift so anything to stay awake.
