Tribe member just came home furious and ranting, because the temp job they took (receptionist for a building with little traffic) doesn't have anything for them to do, so they were just sitting there reading all day.
I said if someone paid me $20 an hour to sit and read all day, you couldn't blowtorch the smile off my face, and now they're mad at me.

@AskTheDevil I actually had a job like that -- not for long, fortunately -- and I had company, the security guard on duty. We both found it impossible to concentrate, knowing we could be interrupted any moment by a phone call or whatever. Vigilance is a task in itself, and you can't do much that's meaningful at the same time. Try it, you won't like it.
