I don't mean to appear to be rude but it doesn't matter what job you do there is always a boring side to it.
Film stars probably get bored between shooting scenes, rock stars get bored travelling between gigs and even porn stars must eventually get bored of shagging.
So my advice is do the job yourself and do it properly, put some music on to pass the time and look forward to getting paid the full whack rather giving £8/hour to someone else :D

the drive there and back is the non boring part of my job, although not if I get stuck in traffic!
