Counting stuff, definitely. Once upon a time I was in Juvy and I counted everything there was to be counted, which, was a very short amount of things: ceiling tiles, beds, toilets, sinks, and inmates, but one took up quite a bit of my time. You see, instead of the usual bars over the cells, we were confined by a steel mesh which had a lot of holes as you might imagine. I counted them, every single fucking one of them. It should have driven me insane, but I had a lot of time. I don't remember the exact amount of course, but I do remember it being somewhere around 12,000.
