Inky - Maybe you can ask your boss if he/she has more for you to do? If the answer is No, and you're found read reading a book...well, how annoyed can they be? And if the answer is Yes, you might find yourself less bored, and you will have shown your boss that you want to succeed there.

Instead of reading, how about writing letters to your kids? Remember how cool it was to receive mail when you were little? And if you think your ex won't let them have mail from you - save the letters for the next visit and hand deliver them.

Take care. emmy
