A former co-worker had a similar frustration after taking an assignment in France. The pace is so slow he had difficult staying motivated, and wasn’t allowed to get a 2nd job. When his co-workers found that he was working on things at home during his “off time”, he was ridiculed.
Learn to be lazy and unproductive, I guess.
I would write a novel or do some painting. Or work on genealogy. Or sew. Or cook. I have tons of projects to keep me busy that don’t involve going to airports. Plus, I did the airport & hotel thing for ten years as a flight attendant and no longer find it appealing. At all.
