I agree - so I'm going to try and work on that - it's also the fact that if you give me a deadline and either hard work or easy work, the work is done by the deadline (on-the-face acceptable) - but really I could be more impressive, take less time, and wrap up the easy work fast. It's just that then, I feel like i have this abyss of "no work" staring at me that is impossible to ignore and blatantly obvious to my boss.

There are times I can legitimately do nothing directly related to the work I've been given at the job, and then it's a matter of "finding stupid random shit related to what I do so that I look busy," and I hate that. But that's the clean/lean policy you talk about.
