Thank you for visiting. Yes, I also admired people being able to tailor their own fashion. It's a skill which needs to be practiced a lot. And I would say that I am still a beginner. Many mistakes happen in the process.
Yes, monotonous work given by others is a pain. I remember in my young years as a trainee I was given a lot of it and I couldn't stand it and almost fell asleep while doing them. In my despair I went to the restrooms and dosed off a bit on the toilet bowl. Though it got all the heavier to get back at the desk. LOL
While self chosen stupid work does exactly what you say.
What kind of self chosen monotony gives you joy?
