I dread coming in every day because I've run out of administrative tasks to do for my own business while I'm here…and I'm sure as hell not about to ask for more work for the bs hourly I'm being paid. Are there any suggestions what I can do to pass the time with something maybe a bit more fulfilling than doom scrolling reddit?
