One of the truths of the world of work is that not every day is an exciting, rewarding rollercoaster - a lot of it is quite boring.
Sometimes, we have to do things that we don't want to and that are a bit dull.
Record-keeping, admin, or cleaning out hundreds of old emails probably aren't on too many people's lists of things they look forward to.
Most of us just suck it up as part of the job.
But one man despairing about how boring his job was, decided to take a different route.
The employee was Frenchman Frederic Desnard, who took his employer to court because he got so bored.
The lawsuit against French perfume-maker Interparfums used some colorful language, with Desnard describing his work as a "descent into hell" and a "nightmare."
