I had a temp job once which comprised taking staples out of cheques attached to letters and replacing them with paperclips. It was only for two weeks, felt like years.

I lasted 14 months.I tried learning SolidWorks while I was there to help alleviate the tedium, only to be told by the head of the CAD department that this was not allowed as I was an engineer, not a designer.
I had very mixed feelings about being laid off- on the one hand it was the spring of 2009 and a bad time to be jobless, but on the other hand I didn't have to spend another stultifying day as an Excel monkey.
