I've had internet access
But I have this possibly old fashioned thing about working for a living.

I couldn't imagine doing a job that allowed so much slack that I could be on t'net all day. Maybe it's a generational thing. To me, if you're not busy you're in the wrong job.

Depends.
When I started my last job it was all rush and manic, then the programme got delayed by 18 months and for a bit there was a huge lull in the workload as we waited for policy decisions to be made. There was very little to do for a few months, to the point where a few of the team buggered off and got secondments.

Once the programme got underway though, it got extremely busy. Which was nice.

I did Sunday -Thursday nights
Sunday - Wednesday I was working flat out, but Thursday was dead. We used to shift crates of wine, and it wasn't unknown for a crate to get "damaged" on Thursday...

And yet many folk see such jobs as aspirational.
It takes all sorts.

some of my temp jobs were
all about the trying waste time without looking like you were (if you worked too quick there would be no work left). Man, I was bored out of my head

This ethic doesn't go down well at all on production lines.
As one 16 year old lad found out only too quickly in a joinery factory I worked in a few years back. He lasted two days.
