      The most boring product I have ever made was card board boxes when I was younger. The idea of feeding that machine materials for any amount of time makes me feel ill.
      In my current career there is still plenty of boring things to do. Because I know why I need to do them, and the benefit I’ll get from doing them, they are not so bad.
      Being stuck in a time machine for two months sounds dull, but I wonder where it’s taking me! If I was stepping out into Mankind’s golden future in the year 3623 then I’m sure I could suffer it.

      Do I get to play around with the time machine? Does it have a good supply of books? How much room is there for physical activity and so on? What’s the food like?
      I’ve never really worked on anything that boring so it would be a tricky decision. I like the idea of time travelling (even if it takes a while to get there) but wouldn’t really mind doing seatbelts for cars again. Sounds boring but the crash testing was fun 🙂

      I’d probably rather go with the boring product. Being trapped would be pretty awful (unless I wasn’t aware I was trapped), plus I can always try and make something boring a LITTLE more fun.

      Interesting question! Would I just pop out 2 months later if I went into the time machine? would I be able to change history? I can’t remember making a boring product – it’s always been interesting in some way…
