During college, when my EE internship placed me in a manufacturing line job that was somewhat repetitive (not very repetitive as repetitive goes though), on the second day, I distinctly remember I felt like my brain was dying. It was not a good feeling.

So can confirm.

Fortunately, my manager saw sense and made me write some Turbo Pascal instead the day after.
