I hear you, I had a job last summer where it was ''work'' in name only. I HATE not having anything to do at work. I don't mind doing stuff, it's the waiting and time sapping factor that annoys me about the rat race. I want the day to go by quickly. So I'm glad my job is nerve wracking and full of nutcases.

My last job was a pleasent mix of that and interesting, difficult stuff. Most of the time I could choose which to do. Suited me down to the ground as if I was tired or hungover, I could put headphones on, stock up on OJ and mineral water and do the mindless work, safe in the knowledge I would be unlikely to make mistakes and, if I did, they would be largely without consequence. On the other hand when I wanted to do something interesting/new to quickly pass the time, there was plenty of that too.
How do you get such a wonderous mix I hear you cry? Work at a company that either: a) Has had a recent bout of heavy layoffs- the overwhelming shortage of staff means:
i) A huge range of essential work is simply not being done- all of this is exciting and new to you, not to mention the posibility for CV boosting.
ii) No reasonable manager can rant at you, provided at least some of your own work is done- no one is doing all their work due to staff shortages. If they do complain, throw down the old "Team work" card. This is a sort of taboo that cannot be argued with. No manager in their right mind will admit in some instances teamwork is a bad thing. Simply explain most of your "essential work" for the day is done and you noticed that department/person x needed a hand. Say that it's in everyone's, the company especially, interests that this work gets done whereas what you'd be doing otherwise would ultimately be "busy work". Explain your previous work in this area (fabricate past jobs, university modules etc. to gain credibility) if they question your lack of experience to perform this task.
b) Has people in other departments who are chronically lazy/incompetent to do their jobs.
NB most companies have the latter situation, if not the former ;)

Also, doing the work of other people (provided you make it quite clear at the time that this is just because you can afford the time and it's not going to be a regular thing) endears you to other departments/people in the company. Despite not being a socialite of work by any means (I seldom went to work parties or company dances/balls) managed to have the largest turn out of my leaving party of the past fifteen years in the company (according to the old hands- it was certainly the biggest send off I saw in my time there). Looking around the table, I'd helped 90% of the people there with some of "their" work. There's also the advantage of being able to ask other people for references should you annoy your line manager as well as the consideration that if you help a wide range of people, at least one of them will be in management in the near future. You can do some great jobs this way. I've done manual labour with our caretaker, made decisions on behalf of managers and negotiated with clients (none of which were my job) all under my job (which was largely being a DBA).
