Hi
Ive been doing security for the last year and half my job requires sitting in a secure room with cameras for multiple hours at a time, throughout the shift. Its exceptionally low activity... nothing ever happens. No one else is there, i have bored myself to death with books, news articles, taught myself how to solve a rubiks cube someone else left in there for a few weeks, waste time drawing little pictures on scrap paper and im losing my mind from sheer boredom. I dont have access to music, headphones, my phone or anything like that.
Anyone have advice?
Im not in a position to change jobs right now but the boredom is destroying my motivation and tolerance for this job and i need suggestions.
Thanks
