Your long day yesterday probably contributed to feeling like you could've used a break today.
The "hurry up and wait" model sounds, in function not complexity, like most of the temp jobs I've worked in my life. If you're efficient at the tasks they've assigned and run out of things to do, it can get excruciatingly boring.
I confess -- I've gotten way addicted to being able to do some recreational things on my work computer. I track nutritional information, post to TypePad, rearrange movies in my Netflix queue, order books from my public library, check the status of an Amazon order. But my work always gets done and my "clients" always get my full attention when they need it. The 'net keeps me sane in a workplace with only two immediate co-workers, both of whom are often a floor away from me.
