To say my job can be tedious is a bit of an understatement. I work at the Chrysler plant in Belvidere, and as many of you know, it's an assembly line. The benefits and pay are great, but the work is pretty boring. Luckily, they allow their workers to use portable devices on the line. You wouldn't think something like that would make much of a difference, but believe me, it really does. I use my iPod 8 hours a day, 6 days a week. It's an absolute life saver. If I couldn't keep my mind occupied during those 8 hour shifts, I think I'd go bonkers. I listen to podcasts and audio books primarily, but occasionally I listen to music too. The privilege of using my iPod makes an ordinarily tedious job not only endurable, it actually makes it enjoyable at times. Right now I'm listening to The Bourne Identity on audio book, and I'm really digging it.
