She's also in this one, it's p much either an AI-filter, or stage makeup, though I would go with the former because yeah the whole glasses-thing:

She also moves her head when she talks in such a way that I can't not notice it. It's like she's following the teleprompter as it floats about the room.

I had an uncle who was mentally disabled and he had a job putting cotton balls in medicine bottles on an endless line.
I couldn't imagine what a nightmare it would be but he was fine with it.

Speaking as an autistic person, I know quite a few people who are cool with plain repetition.
It's the talking with people parts of a job that are a problem.

One of my first jobs after college was phone support for security DVRs with zero training and constantly getting yelled out by security system installers.

You bet your rear end days where I could just ignore the phones and sort a giant box of screws into the proper bins were the best days there.

Einstein liked his watchmaker job because it didn't require him to pay much attention to what he was doing and he could do math at the same time.

Correct. He actually has his name on a patent for a gas powered refrigeration system he helped someone with the paperwork for.

The patent office is where he explains he day dreamed various special and general relativity thought experiments primed by the electromechanical inventions coming through.

He was also on trains a lot as a teenager and that's where he says he first went down the path of special relativity but that's almost definitely more on the synthesis side of memory.

the tube has a pinhole poked in the bottom of it, you can see it by the ant at the bottom of the tube, it's the cloudy white spot next to the ant. very very tiny hole, but probably sufficient enough for ants.

seems you can buy ants in tubes like this at various online stores, for ant farms. don't know if fire ants are among those listings though.

Doesn't seem big enough, Invictus should widen it. Just a few mm that's all

In the PSP game Work Time Fun, the very first minigame challenge is putting caps on pens. You press X to add the cap, then you press right to move onto the next pen. Sometimes the pen needs to be spun around. Play it for as long as you want, then leave.
