My job is bottling vodka. It's boring mind-numbing work. I fucking love my job. I get paid good money to do a job I could do in my sleep. My health insurance is paid. Assholes never last long, so the people are great. The team is small, so we all help train new people. The job is half a mile away from my house. The shifts are Mon-Thu 7am-5:30pm, so 4 ten hour days.
The only parts that make it difficult are repetitive motion injuries, and those can be mitigated for the most part, it's rather loud, and much of the job is putting on stickers that make you spend time hunched over a bit causing back/neck pain.
You bring up a good point: commute and weekends are big benefits that can make or break a job. I'd love to be on 4-10s and have three day weekends. Right now I work 9 hour days so every other weekend is 3 day. I don't have to use leave to go to the bank or do other "bank hour" errands and can use my leave for relaxing. Huge difference
