Hit 'snooze'
Earlier this year I had a temp job at an Engineering firm, working in their "Quality Assurance" department. All I was required to do was to scan some documents, string the resultant PDF files together, and tidy them up a bit to be stored on an external drive where they could be accessed by the clients (BP, Total, etc). It took me about five days to get through the backlog they'd hired me to deal with, and then...

...I basically sat on my arse drinking coffee for the next eight weeks. I was earning more per hour than I'd been making in my last permanent job to surf the internet and sneak home early in the knowledge nobody would notice. There are loads of jobs just like this at the moment due to many firms over-emphasizing the need for "compliance" and building up masses of documents which nobody will ever read but they feel they have to, just in case something bad happens (like a blow-out preventer failing and causing the most-publicized environmental disaster so far this century... but that was before my time). If you hate your over-stressful and frustrating job, just quit and get yourself one doing PFA
