Thanks and good continuation of the point. I'm often the first to say "pay your dues" to complaining youngsters, but OP has done nothing wrong and instead seems to need some guidance on how to maximize the value of his/her days while working out of this unlucky decision. All I would say is that it's important that OP does try to find another, more engaging job, either in that company or elsewhere. It would be a shame to develop a permanently half-assed work ethic at 21, especially when he/she seems to have the energy and moral fibre to work hard. Treat this as a short-term situation.
