Monotony (Always the same)

How can someone feel so satisfied for his life to deal with only one certain topic over and over again - and never get tired of it?
What's the mechanics behind this?

How can someone deal only with one certain topic over and over, is it possible? I have a work now which is always changing into different activities, very occasionally I should do some routine for a week or so but anyway it is possible to do a pause for something else to do.
I don't know when I was working on a pharmaceutical plant I did or had to do a monkey's work for hours through days and nights but I wasn't reading or listening so many books as I was "struggling" there... I sometimes even miss for those stupid time spending - no money but no worries too - I was witnessing when very expensive drugs for tens of thousands dollars were flush to toilet cause the salaries there were so ridiculous that there were working people without any education presumably.

Are you feeling a bit of Marx’s alienation of the worker? I sympathise.
