You want to experience a languishing day? Work as a poll worker for your local board of elections.

You see 2-5 elections per year.

The day lasts from 0500-2130h (at least here in NY)

New faces throughout the day.

Constant stimulation, followed by periods of inactivity.

Practically impossible to guess when someone will walk in the door.

Strict rules for how you’re supposed to conduct the election, combined with the anxiety of how your co-workers and yourself actually perform.

And then waiting for the results.
