Fake or boring jobs
 
Make up your own or just exaggerate.

The person whose job is to make sure that every container of strawberries you pick up has the same number of not quite ripe ones as all the other ones.

It surely can't be random.

The person who delicately balances small amounts of shredded cheese over the edges of frozen pizzas that guarantee that once cooked the molten cheese welds the pizza to the aluminium foil you've carefully provided beneath ensuring that you lose control and burn your fingers as you try to remove the torn foil from the pizza.

I knew that pampered chef pizza stone was a good buy. It may have been ridiculously over-priced but at least I've 'foiled' (;)) the cheese guy's evil plan.

Isn't that a federal requirement?

PS there's a restaurant/diners here that needs a chef and or owner. It's currently closed in the evenings as they can't find a chef. It's also up for sale. Fancy moving to Ontario?
