I thought having nothing to do at my internship would be relaxing. I was wrong.
I'm currently an intern, and most days I barely have any assigned work to do.
I leave home at 6 a.m., spend around 1.5 hours commuting by MRT every day, sit in the office for 8 hours, and then head home. On paper, it doesn't sound exhausting because I'm not constantly busy.
But somehow, I still come home completely drained.
The tiring part isn't the work itself. It's having to look busy all day. Constantly wondering if someone is watching, switching between tabs when people walk by, pretending to be occupied because I don't want people to think I'm being lazy.
I'd honestly rather have actual work to do than spend the whole day acting like I'm working.
Does anyone else feel like being bored at work is somehow more exhausting than actually being busy?
