So, sometimes we work jobs that aren't the best, but we find ways of bringing fun into it. Sometimes this comes in the form of goofy novelty items for one's desk, and other times it manifests as weird games that you play with your co-workers that customers/bosses remain oblivious to.
For me, it's drawing ducks. I can draw a little duck really really fast. So when I work at the "sandwich station" for the day, I draw ducks on a whole stack of sandwich wrappers, which are distributed to customers when they order their food. xp It amuses the heck out of me. I also end up drawing ducks on places where I have to write expiration dates, for example on the giant tubs of cream cheese. When I draw a duck on something like this, I usually give it a few extra details like: pirate accessories, Britney Spears attire, sunglasses...the list goes on and on. My co-workers always know it's me who portioned out the sausage and egg patties, when they find a duck with a mohawk or a monocle scribbled on the cover sheet.
So ATG, how do you amuse yourself whilst working for "the man"?

Gawds, this just reminds me how dreadfully boring factory work is. When I worked at the local cookie factory, we weren't even allowed to have shirts that had printed logos or words on them. (The stuff could fall off into the product) No music, (The headphones could get caught in the machines) No cellphones. (Distracting. Also, the only rule that everyone (Myself included) broke) Shirts had to be tucked in... Hell, I even had to take out my earring. (My earring at the time was a stainless steel chainmaille ring, it had to be cut out.)
I didn't have anyone to talk with most of the time, I was palletizing by myself most of the time. After a bit, someone was hired to palletize with me. He quit a few days later, the same day I quit.
Before that, I worked under the table as a lot boy at a mechanic/auto dealership/car customization shop. I worked there for two weeks, cleaning the place outside, moving bumpers and crap... absolutely loved it. It was my first job, I was making money myself. I didn't need to try to make it fun, I enjoyed every second of it.
Second week on the job, I got sick and was fired because of it. gonk Since it was an under the table job, there was nothing I could do about it.
