It’s interesting…

My desk job drives me insane so I go and do mindless inventory work.. but if I was doing that all day I would go insane.

Most jobs drive us crazy

Almost as if we didn't evolve to do the same task over and over again repeatedly.

Yeah, no. That's how you get left behind. They end up making machines for repetitive tasks.

Almost all jobs are repetitive tasks. Some have more steps, more time between having to do the task again and even involve other people.

My wife and I work a desk job, but during the fall me and her work at a pumpkin patch on the weekends driving tractors for hayrides and then other random tasks around there. We love doing it as it is such a change of pace from our day jobs and it gets us outside for extended periods.
