I like it when my job makes me do a lot of things instead of sitting around doing nothing because time goes by faster.
this exactly.
in my first job, i remember there was a stretch of about a month where our team literally didn't have anything to do, and then all of a sudden they give us 6 big projects to do and 10 days (including weekends) to do them. i was pretty upset at the time cause i thought it was going to be horrible being under that much pressure because bad management took over a month to decide what they needed from us. but those next 2 weeks turned out to be a lot of fun. a lot of work, yeah, but i enjoyed being busy and having a deadline for when stuff needed to be done.
right now it's just, there's so many problems that are out of my control that make it so i can't even do the tasks assigned to me. and there's nobody i can talk with to kill time so each day just feels so long when i don't have any work i can do. i've literally had days where i sat here and did absolutely zero work-related stuff all day, and it's happened almost half the time in the 5+ weeks i've been here now. i don't like it at all...
