Question: What is the most repetitive part of your job

Good question – I actually just finished a really repetitive bit of work which ended up giving me repetitive strain injury in my wrist from so much typing. 🙁 This work was using a computer programme written in the 1980s to analyse spectra (the chemical fingerprints of stars). A certain bit of the programme can’t be automated on my computer so I had to do it by hand!
Day to day though, my job is varied and I usually end up doing lots of different bits of work every day.
