I read posts about people quitting jobs because they're boring or there is not much to do and I don't get it: what's wrong with being paid for doing nothing or not much at all?

Examples I can think of: being paid to be present but only working 30 minutes to 2 hours every 8 hours, or a job where you have to work 5 minutes every 30 minutes.

What's wrong with reading a book, writing poetry or a novel, exercising, playing with the smartphone... and going home to enjoy your hobbies fully rested?

Am I missing something?

That's why you bring your own laptop. Never, and mean NEVER, do anything personal on a work computer.

Easier said than done, but yes this is very true. It's way too easy to fuck up and touch the wrong account, or sync the wrong data, or otherwise contaminate your personal projects with work.
