Its so damn boring, to be fair I'm on a temp contract for a project (I'm the only one doing the project, and basically have to ask questions/annoy people that are always extremely busy with other things so most of my job is being idle waiting for them, and 9 times out of 10 they don't know what they want or have to dig into it themselves with no set timeframe as to when they can before I can do anything.

Some people love it, but I don't understand why? I find it so dull, to the point in some cases I just go home in the afternoon when everyones fully booked all day (of course, I then don't get paid for that time but eh.)

I don't understand how people do it, I have headphones and listen to/watch Youtube, but gets pretty boring after 2 weeks of this.
