This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Most of these “tester” positions are boring to the point of testing your sanity. Monotony is the state of doing little outside of a simple, repetitive routine and it offers a unique hell to each of its occupants. When one is consumed by tedium, they are compelled to consume it in turn, reshaping themselves to fill their fresh wounds like a reluctant ouroboros. You dip, you walk, you place, you return, you dip, you walk, you place, you return. The shining isn’t far off.

Honestly, if it paid well enough and I were to lose my current job, I’d live to be in this sort of job. Life’s too short to be stressed about work. Just go, do job, get paid, and live my life.
Everyone believes they’re unaffected by indefinite boredom until the wallpaper starts dancing.
Couldn’t you at least get some audiobooks or youtube or something to help pass the time?
I operated around machinery so my hearing couldn’t be obstructed. If that weren’t an issue, music would have been welcome.
It sounds like you've left the field, but I'll never miss a chance to proselytize bone conduction headphones. Mediocre sound quality, but they leave your ears completely open and can work through ear protection.

I want those hotel bed tester job.
Turns out the job is dipping paper strips in bodily fluids found on hotel beds.
Ah, you mean bedbug bite cure tester
Sounds like that one level of the stoner working in the fish factory in What Remains of Edith Finch.
That's the job I want.
