I am about to go spend my Saturday writing 3 tests, about 2 hours each, in the hopes of scoring a non-clerical job. Because in all honesty, while I gain a great deal of satisfaction from work (which is a bonus for me), I'd rather sit at home on disability for the rest of my life if my current job is a sign of things to come. 

Hell, I got excited and genuinely pleased when someone in a different department gave me defective financial invoices to process. It meant I could use my brain for something other than "Hmm, I wonder if I can get 6 pieces of paper in the shredder at a time?"

I hope they find me stuff to consistently challenge me...soon

Good luck on your tests...

And speaking from experience, no if there is any way you can avoid it, you DON'T wanna sit at home on Disability for the rest of your life - believe me.

But I would hate to do a job that causes me great physical discomfort on a daily basis more.

Granted, I must have read your LJ wrong, wasn't the main thrust of your complaint that your current job didn't challenge you enough?

and it hurts from the repetitive actions.

Challenging work doesn't usually put you at risk for RSI.

No, of course not. I didn't mean to sound insensitive. Your post didn't mention your being in pain.

Allow me to revise my statement then to aggree with you wholeheartedly.

Far better indeed that you stay home than you do a job that hurts you and doesn't challenge you.

I can see where you're coming from though... but believe me, there are days I'd rather sleep in and keep my puppy company rather than go make my back sore, performing unrewarding work all while dodging office politics and that perky twit of an admin who is being paid more than me and doesn't know how to do her job

With those circumstances who can blame you.

Here's hoping something better rolls up.

Here's to hoping I did as well as I think I did on the tests today. Based on some of the conversations around me, I think my chances are at least good that I did better than them.

When one considers that you're smarter than a lot of people, I believe you will do well.
