Im so bored, I cannot find the words. I need a challenge.
You called - reformat all the source code in your project to your personal preference and then commit. If you don't know what I am talking about then stick your head down the nearest toilet and flush.
You want a challenge? How about this from many years ago: analyse the output from the batch run to determine the amount of a page covered in ink so we can estimate how long a laser printer cartridge will last.
This is a genuine task invented by a manager. He was surprised when nobody wanted to do it. So he allocated it to his ‘favourite’ a young Pakistani chap. The following week he presented his findings at the team meeting to a stunned audience.

I think you can all guess how well his forecast compared with reality. The value of his stock went into a long term decline after that.
