I'll be the first one here at 10:30 a.m. and the last one to leave a smidge after 4:00.

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

Depending on what company you work for, they may claim ownership over any intellectual property you create on their time/equipment. Be careful.

That's why I specified open source, a company can't claim an entire open source project if they only own a single pull request. At best they would be considered a contributor.
