So maybe this is just a self reflection (since no one reads this anywyay..or do they? lol) anywayyyyy ways to make the day at work go quicker!!
1. Do something, Don't do Nothing - While doing nothing is really relaxing, not to mention easy ;) , it isnt necessarily the best way to pass the time, especially considering boredom, and the consequences of getting caught lol, but basically doing something, even if its just something like sweeping up the work area, passes time a lot quicker than just standing (or sitting?) while not doing anything
2. Have a conversation when possible! - now i'm not saying to go full chatterbox, and talk nonstop - i dont reccomend that LOL, but talk where possible! get to know the person youre working with!
where did they come form? what do they do? are they wanting to go some other career? :D not only does it massively help pass the time, but who knows you might end up becoming friends? :D
3. Stop checking the time! - one of the most demoralizing things ive found when the day seems to be going so slowww, is when i used to constantly check the time, and would almost wince in pain, to see what felt like an hour was only half an hour, or there's still 2 more hours until knock off time (go home) - since then what i noticed which is far better is just ignore the time completely, even if you want make mental guesstimates of the time in certain situations (try to guess a lower time rather than a higher time though)
and just basically check it as little as possible - once i did that, i was always surprised (and happy!) to see that in most cases over an hour or 2 had passed since i last checked! :D
4. If all else fails try to see the good side in things - one of the worst things when working is to not like the job youre doing, which ive had the misfortune of a lot over the years, and trust me, having a positive attitude rather than a negative or aggressive attitude is a LOT better! makes the time pass significantly quicker, and makes the job a lot more enjoyable (if its enjoyable at all) - for example like me who has no hand eye coordination and started getting agitated at "handfilling the belt" (opposed to the usual hopper filling - which was leaving marks on the magazines that day) once i kinda changed my attitude to thinking of it as an art/ or a skill, it became a lot more easier and enjoyable - though in parts i missed was still frustrating/agitating/really pissed me off LOL but yeah - this one is probably the hardest to do, and takes practise, but once youre able to do it where needed, it helps a ton :D
Hopefully some/any of this helps, all of them have helped me massively, and if they do end up helping you /or you have other techniques - feel free to comment! :D
