There are a number of up-front and positive things about this job. One, while I will readily admit that the five hours I spent yesterday placing Korean labels over the English words on the back of NuSkin's 180 Skin Mist is unlikely to have a profound impact on the world (except maybe for a Korean person who is deeply in need of NuSkin's 180 Skin Mist), I get to wear scrubs,

For five minutes I realized what life would be like if I were, in any way, interesting. If I had anything to say for myself, if I did anything.It also makes me look kind of like these people, but minus the stylish hats. In addition, the international components of the job also make me feel like I'm making a greater contribution to humanity. Or perhaps it is merely an indication that English speakers do not want these products. It's very hard to say.
I was suddenly hit by an extraordinary rush of well-being. So this is what people meant by a natural high. And it only cost 60 quid.
I also must admit that this job is quite different than I'd anticipated. During the last two days, I've discovered that in many ways I have been preparing for this for years: years of helping my Mother with various newsletters and primary letters have helped me practice putting stickers/labels on bottles with attention to proximity and straightness, my own OCD nature helps me be fastidious, and I have developed a taste for running social experiments on myself and those around me. I have often believed that I have a high tolerance for and would even enjoy doing extremely repetitive, menial jobs. Was I right?

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to keep going the rest of the 58 days in my assignment.
PS I tried to come up with some less obvious quotes. I'm sorry to have offended some of my reader's sensibilities last post. Now here's a real question though, I would swear that "It's very hard to say" is itself a movie quote (I'm hearing it in a sarcastic tone and a British man's voice) but IMDB failed me. Do I have any takers?

Wow--a true UT experience working for NuSkin. Hope they don't suck you in.
that IS a quote by some british accent - i can totally hear it too!! oh man this will drive me nuts all day. i'll let you know if a wave of brilliance descends on me.
i can't believe i'm the first person to know where that quote comes from. pirates of the caribbean, the first one, when kiera knightly is talking to someone (can't remember who) and she's struggling to form sentences properly because she's wearing a corset for the first time.
duh...
