SECURITY GUARD PAID TO DO NOTHING, 8-HR SHIFT ONLY WORK 30 MINS, REST OF TIME PLAY GAMES

Does anyone here have a job where they are paid to do mostly nothing?

I currently work as a security guard and I feel like I only work for 30 minutes a day in a 8 hour shift.

I work at a work site where my duties are to patrol the area which takes me 10 minutes to do. I also let trucks in at the main gate and I receive 3 to 5 trucks a week where I have to open the gate for them.

The rest of the time I’m sitting in the guardhouse with nothing to do. I play on my phone, brought my Steam Deck, Switch Lite, and 3ds to pass the time. Anyone else have a really chill job?

1. I spend most of my time sitting in a little room inside a factory, waiting for something to break. Most repairs take me 5 minutes.
2. I work in a data center as a facilities technician. There are exceptions, but most of the time, I work maybe 90 minutes of a 10 hour shift. But the pay is decent and the benefits are good
3. I used to have a job on a factory floor as one of those middle management jobs where you take all the crap from disgruntled workers but have no real authority. After a few years of being treated like crap by management I stopped trying to be great at my job, which meant browsing the Internet and watching YouTube videos as much as I could during my shifts.
4. I work at a restaurant and surprisingly I end up standing around a lot. It’s not that we’re dead I just wash dishes which is obviously incredibly easy. One of those rare jobs where my role is just dishwasher and not dishwasher+cook+maintenance etc. Don’t make any money but it beats my last job, that place was gonna kill me
5. I once had a low effort job. Where I had to wait for machines to finish up. I still had to watch the machines doing their thing, but other than that I just sat for 2 hours straight doing nothing doing something for like an hour and then sit for 2 hours.
   I hated those days were it would take super long for the machine to finish up. No stress though so that is good, but I was mega bored.
6. Sounds like what the politicians are doing.
