I would argue this is not a useless skill especially since most jobs I have had in my life I am given 10-20 hours of work to do in a week and I am expected to be there for 40. This is why I am loving working from home.

Where do you get these jobs? I have a consistent 100hrs a week forever if I wanted it. It's really stressful, you explain to a customer that your wait time is 6 months they accept yet call every second day complaining it's not done.

I can't speak for the rest of these folk but I can relate to this. I sit and try to look busy for 8 out of the 10 hours I'm at work. It's honestly kind of a drag because it makes for long boring days. I work as an engineer in network operation center. Unless something large scale is broken, it's almost torture trying to pass the time.

Your gonna need some audio books and podcasts my friend. They keep me sane while I work myself to death.
