I been here 3 weeks now and I’ve probably done 3 days worth of work

We build and test thermal scopes for the military so the shyt we deal with is cool

But the tests are so intricate that it sometimes an hr to complete a step…after 5 min of set up time

I take multiple breaks for as long as I want, most ppl would be happy with doing nothing but this shyt ain’t fulfilling at all

Have you considered asking for more to do?

If you’re bored, that’s on you. Take on a challenge. Find a problem to fix. If there aren’t any readily apparent problems, find a way to make a part of the job better or more efficient. Focus on getting a position there that isn’t boring for you.

Complaining about being bored isn’t the move.

Look at your job for what it is...a job. Problem is most people want their jobs to be meaningful and add something to their lives.
Nope. It ain't that. It's just work. I make my money then go home.

When I am outside of work or off, I don't think about it and I don't talk about it. I don't make small talk with people about work. It's just something I do for a money. :yeshrug:

Get a job at a restaurant or bar. Those guys have to move ass constantly. Factory and call center work is like that as well. I've never had a job where I had free time, so it seems like most jobs would fit the bill for you.
