Well, mine is going to sound a whole lot less impressive, but here goes anyways. I'm a water meter reader for a medium sized city in Indianapolis, Indiana. I am the senior reader, as I'm the only person so far, to stay in it as long as I have without requesting a transfer to another department. It is not a very popular job because it is a lot of repetative work. That is why I like it, though. I know it so well now that I really don't have to think about what I'm doing much. I listen to podcasts, think of story ideas, etc. We have somewhere around 8,000 electronically read meters, and I read all of those (it's nice, I drive through the routes and read them with a device mounted to my car), and I also read about 2,000 manually read meters. I have a reputation as a super-accurate meter reader (manuals, pretty much impossible to misread electronic meters), which I pride myself on.
But then again, that's just the nature of the your business. I heard morning television by its nature has to work like that too.
