Working hard vs. not working hard

I was at work for 6 hours today. I did about 10 minutes worth of work. I eventually left in disgust when it became apparent there wasn't going to be any more work for me to do today. I'll be more than happy to put in a couple 9 hour days later this week, if only they would give me something to do. It is so awful sitting there with nothing to do. I hate it. I can't even read LJ because it is blocked at work.

It's amazing how exhausting doing nothing all day is. If you've never done it, you wouldn't understand.
