[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have no idea why your post got the reaction it did!  If you would have worded it in a way that implied that everyone works for economic reasons, the same people would have bitten your head off anyway, saying they choose to work because it's fulfilling.

Anyway...I am a SAHM, but I have done some temp jobs recently.  I get through it by really focusing on my work and coming up with small goals to accomplish during downtime each day.  For example, my last gig was retail during the holidays.  When the store was busy, time went by really fast anyway.  But those slow days could be pretty brutal and long.  So I would come up with a task such as reorganizing the sale racks or cleaning/organizing an aisle in the stock room.  It made the day go by so much faster and I would always leave with a sense of accomplishment.  I also stay away from my phone and social media while at work.  It doesn't help if I get on fb and see pics of moms ice skating or building a snowman with their kids!  It's best to focus on work and try not to think about what's going on in the outside world.
