90% Boring is a series of films about what makes people happy at work, what gives them satisfaction, contentment or meaning in the daily grind. It covers a range of disciplines including:
Being a Railway Signaller
Being a Journalist & Theatre Maker
Being a Painter
Being a Bishop
Being a Human Rights Defender
(Not) Being Magicians
The title comes from author Elizabeth Gilbert, who once said that everything that is interesting is 90% boring, that even the most glamorous-looking of careers will be underpinned by a lot of hard work and, frankly, tedium. I find this a very liberating thought. 'Dream jobs' feel more within reach when we can see how much they have in common with most jobs. You just need to show up, day after day, with commitment and energy. But perhaps more importantly, we can see that the pleasure found doing these jobs can be found doing almost any job. This series gives insights into a variety of personalities and roles, revealing where the little joys of work can be found day to day, and hopefully where you can apply them to your own worklife.
