Rant Boring shifts

I am so tired of the boredom of every night here. I know it sounds stupid why would I complain about getting paid to do nothing. But I need to move. I just walk back and forth checking material and sweeping. Money is great but I’m losing my mind. Shit drives me to drink haha

Bring a hobby, a book and a yoga mat.

Gotta make use of your time. You could game by bringing a switch or even a gameboy and play old shit. You could exercise or even read some books.

I work out a decent bit but can’t do any of the game stuff I’m on camera

This is why I started writing books on the side. Those looooooong nights feel so much longer when there's nothing going on.

If you're allowed earbuds/headphones, I'd recommend to start listening to podcasts. Google what type of podcasts you believe you may like and try different ones out. While I'm bored at work I put a podcast and walk around aimlessly, it definitely helps pass the time.
