I have JW time wasting down to a science. Examples:
Ministerial Training School - 8 weeks (352 hours in class plus about 100 hours of homework) and change I will never get back. All I got was this lousy T-shirt framed certificate (that I had to frame myself).
Temp at Bethel -- 4 weeks in Walkill I will never get back.
Temp at Bethel -- 3 weeks in Brooklyn I will never get back.
Pioneer School -- 2 weeks I will never get back.
Kingdom Ministry School -- several weekends I will never get back.
Countless hours in elder $hit meetings/busy work.
10 years (give or take) of Pioneering.
Many weekends sitting in a cheap a$$ tent (if we were lucky) in volunteer service on quick builds putting fu$king stickers on people's helmets to "prove" they signed in. It was either too damn hot, too damn cold, too damn rainy, or too damn windy. It was never ever nice when I was there. And why did we need 4 people to sign in volunteers? Or at midnight to check in drywallers? All we did was 10 minutes of hurry up and sign people in and 4 hours of sitting around eating cookies and drinking weak coffee and being bored out of our minds. All the single sisters were taken (or married off) by age 20. (and then I wonder why I ended up single...LOL)
I had another (unspecified) assignment for years that I did once a month for 8 hours. Also working my ass in between long periods of boredom. Any thousands of hours in other volunteer assignments. Not that it was all bad mind you. There were some fun times...but in hindsight it was all pointless.
Time Waster? Bitter? Nah. Stupid? Yes. However, I am free now. No more time wasting.

edited to add... after I posted that and seen that list I should be pissed off. For some reason I am not. Wierd.
