Sherpa Breaks Everest Record

by Neil Woodburn (RSS feed) on May 21st 2007 at 1:08PM

Doing the same thing over and over again is one of the curses of any job. It's boring, repetitive, and mind-numbing.

Take for example, the case of Apa. This poor working stiff is a Nepalese Sherpa whose job it is to guide foreign trekkers up the face of Mt. Everest. Every day it's the same thing; put on the pack, lead the tourists, eventually summit, go home to the wife and kids. Yawn.

Working for the man has never been more tedious. And now, Apa has managed to break a world record for workplace repetitiveness. The worker bee has summited Everest 17 times, more than any other person on this planet.

Let's all hope Apa lands that prestigious Employee of the Month placard for going above and beyond the call of duty. If that bitch from accounting gets it again, I'm going to puke.
