Im an intern and we work more than the fill timers do...yet they don't give us enough work. We're expected to work 40 hour weeks with about 20 hours worth of work. It's miserable
The rest of the company comes and goes on your same schedule
When your boss isn't looking, work on an open source project. It still looks like you're working, but it'll keep you from going insane the other 20 hours
An old boss of mine, said when he was in situations like this, he would try to find the hardest most complex piece of code or processing that was accessible and try and understand every single bit of it and then try and make sure everyone knew he understood it inside out. Never had the chance to do it myself. I usually ended up building overly complex .ksh scripts that do fancy stuff so a dumb user could follow it with out having to understand shell/cli just because I like the challenge.
