It’s sometimes weird when the main activity in your job is something that is very temporary. You can never actually finish your task. Every day you come in and find all your work undone and you start all over.

I’m a housewife. This describes my life. Hahahahah Way to go, Biff!

I have an obsessive-compulsive streak that shows up when I come across a set of items that are almost sorted. Thus, I am compelled to reshelve that one store item that quite obviously belongs somewhere else in the store. Unfortunately, I invariably come across another misplaced item while searching for the first item’s proper place.

Library shelves are easier to ignore and leave unalphabetized, but the desire to ignore the impulse is much less. However, I haven’t looked in the children’s section for a long time, and never thought about just how badly those shelves might get jumbled up. Seeing how the librarians have told me not to organize the shelves, I don’t think I want to go near the children’s section anytime soon, either.

I suspect Biff is working at home. I recognize that glue gun, and it certainly doesn’t have a cord long enough to take outside the house.

Too true! I worked as a stock clerk for a dollar store for two and a half years, and have currently been working loading trucks for FedEx for the past three. I know the feeling of coming in to work and finding everything empty and waiting for you all over again.

I put away and organise books at a library. You trying working in the toddler section for four hours. The worst is when a kid comes along and starts just ripping the books off the shelves and their parents do NOTHING about it. I used to love kids, now I have the urge to put them all in hamster balls so they can’t touch my books.

This comic made me nearly suffocate from laughing. I work at a circuit city, And I restock the shelves sometimes, so this entertained me greatly to see Biff in a red shirt in retail. Too bad my work doesn’t have glue-guns

I’m currently working as a hotel housekeeper, so I understand this frustration all too well.

I work at the local Home Depot and I’m the lot attendant and whenever I bring carts up to the front it seems that 3 people take the two carts I just brought up plus another. This comic reminds me of my job so much…haha

I volunteer at a horse center. One day in the summer, I spent a full hour refilling water buckets. Thing is, we don’t have that many horses!
Then there’s the slow days when I sweep up. On the bright side, when people track in more dirt, I get to look at them with a horrified expression and they apologize. On the other hand, there’s one mat that I would pick up every time to get at the dirt underneath and shake the dirt from the cracks on the top. Each time, even if it had only been a week, I was left with a pile of dirt that came up to the bottom of a chair.
Don’t get me started on my volunteer work in two libraries.
In case you’re all wondering, no, I’m not doing community service because I commited a crime.

I used to work as a cashier at a supermarket, and the extreme version of this was why I hated the job so much. Always, you could see the end of the line, but it would never come.
