In my first job out of college, I had maybe 2 hours of work per day. In the first year I was there I produced 2 albums, ran a monthly party, learned a new programming language and launched my first web app. Ay my first year review, my boss called me out on it, and I said, "am I getting my work done?" He couldn't deny it. I continued this for another year. At my second year review, my boss did something I still think is brilliant. He'd been following what I'd been learning, and asked if I couldn't use my new knowledge of building web apps to solve an in-house problem. I spent the third year working extra hours, building a web app but for the company. Everyone was happy. I've never been a good employee, so YMMV, but CYA, and let it be their problem. If they fire you, there are always other jobs. You'll get out of debt eventually.
