Oddly Depressing Job

So, I help out a lot in my school's library. What can I say? I love it there.. Tons of books, not a lot of annoyances, and air conditioning. Perfect environment! Great place to be, until as of lately. It's very depressing actually. Today, the librarian and myself started clearing out and getting rid of books. Long story short, they're closing the school down, consolidation. Just some random job, that I thought would be meaningless turned out to be more depressing than anything though, weirdly enough. I hate seeing the library so empty and without books. We're not even halfway done and I could estimate that we've boxed up a good five to seven hundred books just to be shipped off to nowhere... Can't wait to get this done, feels awful..




Just one of those jobs that you would not exactly think to be depressing that turned out to be. What about you guys, experiences that you thought wouldn't be depressing that turned out to be?
