The problem was being to work conscious. I'm not saying do anything to get you fired. But bring something to entertain yourself. Like how you said you never brought a book. Bringing one would have made it better. I know a girl who I worked with shortly who was always currently reading. Me, I bring games and my phone to work. So, I always have something to do. I can read stuff on my phone, or play a game to pass the time. Watch some videos or something. I don't mind doing what I would do at home while I'm at work. People have even invited their significant others there...


Yeah, this was pre-2000 so not a ton of options for portable games (think nintendo had one back then), but it was mainly me just being work concious like you said. Also I was in the military (not that many years before) and your kinda expected to wait alot (especially when I was working as a courier for awhile), and certainly not allowed to read etc while reading.

Now of course that has changed and people literally look for jobs like that so they can game/read etc. Seriously no joke I pretty much wanted to off myself because that job was killing me. I am, and have never been, good at just sitting around doing nothing. It's why I decided to leave the AF in fact after the gulf war ended. I left and immediatly went to a vocational school to become an electronic tech (9 months, 8 hours a day m-f) while working graveyard at Carl's Jnr (40 hours a week). Was much more work/effort than the military, but I was constantly busy (also 50% off the food at Carl's Jnr!!).

It's why I also hate jails, I consider being stuck in a cell the ultimate torture and would rather die than ever be put in such a situation even for a few months. It's made the last 6 months not fun at all as well, even though I have games/tv shows and movies, and books to read. It could be worse, but it's still not a ton of options and I do get bored doing the same things day after day.
