   Yes, they actually mentioned that at the time. I don't know if   
   I would have been able to do a simple job all day for years or   
   not. Maybe I could and I'd have more challenging things I'd get   
   into after work. At the time a reliable paycheque and good   
   benefits sounded great to me. I figure you don't have to like   
   your job, and probably the number of people who do are in the   
   minority of workers. Most I think just do their jobs and can't   
   wait to get out of there at the end of the day.   
      
   That said, virually all jobs I've ever had that lasted for any   
   length of time, I usually ended up being moved or promoted into   
   a different job before too long, and usually the new position   
   was more challenging.
