tester:we need someone to support the testing over the weekend, making sure the job is running
manager:sure we will organise someone watching the job
me:uh... couldn't this be automated?
manager:that's a great idea (read: you've just volunteered yourself)
me:so what tasks are involved?
senior developer:just run some SQL regularly.
me:..... that's it? you need someone to do monkey work like that!?!? sigh..
