From Bullshit Jobs:
Occasionally the very rich hire their fellow human beings to pose as statues on their lawns during parties. Some “real” jobs seem very close to this: although one does not need to stand quite as still, one must also do it for much longer periods of time:
Clarence: I worked as a museum guard for a major global security company in a museum where one exhibition room was left unused more or less permanently. My job was to guard that empty room, ensuring no museum guests touched the . . . well, nothing in the room, and ensure nobody set any fires. To keep my mind sharp and attention undivided, I was forbidden any form of mental stimulation, like books, phones, etc.
Since nobody was ever there, in practice I sat still and twiddled my thumbs for seven and a half hours, waiting for the fire alarm to sound. If it did, I was to calmly stand up and walk out. That was it.
