3. Come and work for me
Of course I have no budget to pay you and you'd have to move to Michigan but the time will move really fast. :hi:

4. You know, if you watch the second hand long enough...
... you can actually see it stop for a while before moving on to the next tick.

5. Take your break as late as possible during the day

That's what I always did when I had horrible temp jobs.

11. Use your imagination about those around you!
Make up little stories, like, "... she looks liker her name is really Edna Boiles," and so on....

12. live in the moment
focus on the task at hand and don't get ahead of yourself...in my work, these banal truisms are the only things that get me through the day...they work!

13. I sometimes wish time would drag in my job
I'm always too busy to take a break and rarely finish everything I'd like to before my shift has ended. Still, I'd rather be busy than bored. I have no suggestions - I've never worked anywhere that wasn't understaffed and overworked.
