I recently started as an app developer at a local government office right out of college.
Two and a half months into the job, and I am bored out of my mind and my supervisor literally cannot find enough work to keep me busy. I complete all my assigned tasks too quickly for management to keep up.
I hate being bored, and being bored in a noisy cubicle farm actually gives me a headache. I usually just watch documentaries during my spare time, which only keeps my mind occupied for so long.
Today, I was somewhat cranky, didn't sleep well, and decided to take an early lunch to take a nap, seeing as how the gal across the aisle from me takes cat naps all the time.
I was told today that I cannot take naps at my desk on my lunch break, and that I should instead watch Certified Ethical Hacker training videos whenever I have no projects assigned to me. This is after literal weeks of the same thing happening over and over again. I get assigned a small bug fix, fix it, and then I have nothing to do but sit there. My depression and anxiety have started acting up, and at the end of the day I want nothing more than to fling myself out the nearest window.
For context, I am an app developer, and the CEH videos stopped being relevant to my position two months ago. Evidently, I can't watch history documentaries even though they provide pretty much the same benefit to me, excluding the fact that they don't make me want to blow my brains out.
Essentially, I am bored, overstimulated from chatter around the office, and my supervisor is literally RUBBING HIS TEMPLES because he can't find enough work for me to do. I fucking hate this job holy fucking shit.
