I used to have a contract job like that. The contract house kept bugging me about increasing my "billable hours". Me, I was so bored I couldn't be less interested. I ended up quitting my "contract" because they wouldn't lay me off. Best thing I ever did.

Watch out for yourself when dealing with contract agencies. 'Nuff said.

I worked a consulting job like this - but I got another consulting gig (I was doing writing at the time) and just about doubled my salary - doing work for the second job at the first consulting job.

I have a job now where it's balls to the wall every day and would love, love, love some downtime. How discreet do you have to be about your loafing? If you don't have to be too discreet about what you're doing, I'd start doing all of those personal things you put off - like balancing your checkbook, buying birthday presents, planning a vacation, etc. Make personal phone calls for all of your personal business. See all of this downtime as an opportunity to get some stuff done.

Thank you for your comments. I have been waiting to be laid off for a long time. At first it was a 6 month contract and they extended it for another 6 months, and they did it again and again. I would love to quit, but I need to have some type of income.

All I do at work is do personal stuff. Sometimes I just leave in the middle of the day and go shopping or do some erands or go for long walks. I have done all of this for so long, that I am just sick of it all. I don't even want to go shopping anymore. I just need to get away from there for awhile.

I can surf the net all day, hang on chat sites, trade stocks for extra income....goddam, this would be perfect for me. Care to disclose the location of this job?
