•  Sometimes, with nothing to do, the hours and days roll by even more slowly. And when you're at work, you want the time to pass as quickly as it can. You want the day to be full of activity, but not so full that you're bursting at the seams. So when you end up in a job that doesn't give you much to do, it might be more exhausting than one that did. That's the situation that this employee found themselves in when they were continuously logging 13 and 14-hour shifts with nothing to fill them with. It would be one thing if you could dedicate that time to other activities, like reading or learning another language, but when you're having to sit at a desk pretending to be., but when you're having to sit at a desk, pretending to be busy, those things tend to slip away.

• Commenters gave ideas on how to use the time.
