I've been in a similar situation. I worked in a museum ticket office for almost 3 years as a student. We got maybe 3 visitors a day on average (most days it was 0). By the end, I had re-watched all of Stargate and probably spent a week's worth of time just on Reddit. It's amazing just how badly sitting in a small, tall room with only incandescent light will fuck you up. After a particularly stressful day, having to "work" for the rest of it completely broke me and I spent an hour crying (without anyone noticing). After that, I knew I had to get my shit together, so I saved up for a decent laptop and started doing web development again. By the time I quit, I was making decent money by freelancing and had gotten some valuable references. Even the people around me told me I looked happier and "more alive". Ironically enough, doing nothing was the most exhausting thing I've ever done. Web dev in Django was what got my motivation back, but I see no reason why Rails wouldn't work. Good luck!
