On the one hand, at least you aren't just looking at a computer all day, but, on the other, it is because you are giving yourself carpal tunnel syndrome from pipetting and/or staring into a microscope. Big props to the people who do it (it is frequently important work!) but I eventually even got tired of listening to podcasts and audiobooks.
This is also a good illustration of the experience of working in a microbio lab
Yeah I have always thought that job looks mind numbing as hell.

Oh actually if you can listen to things while doing it then it's actually not so bad. I could get a lot of learning done.
