I was reviewing my position description at work, and at the end of the description was the following list.

Physical Demands/Work Environment Frequency of Activity

Stand: Often
Walk: Often
Sit: Often
Use hands to finger, handle, or feel: Often
Reach with hands and arms: Often
Climb or balance: Seldom
Stoop, kneel, crouch, or crawl: Seldom
Talk or hear: Nearly Continuously
Taste or smell: Often
Lifting – up to 10 pounds: Often
Lifting – up to 25 pounds: Often
Lifting – up to 50 pounds: Seldom
Lifting – up to 100 pounds: Seldom
Lifting – over 100 pounds: Not Required

Vibration? Really? I've never once experienced on the job vibration. What did they have in mind, exactly? I feel gipped.

Oh yeah. A little on the job vibration would wonders. I would LOVE my job if that was included.

I'm also wondering how often you are required to taste things?
