Work but not work

It's surprising how much of my "job" isn't really my "job". Like my job consists mostly of writing code, analyzing data, drawing conclusions, and documenting results. But other things I do during working hours are things like:
- Wait for computer to boot - Wait for mandatory software updates to finish - Wait while virus scan bogs down 70% of my computing resources - Spend 45 minutes burning a CD with 30,000 files containing software I need to do my job - Try to find a way around network firewall to access information needed to do my job - Take mandatory training - Walk to other buildings, wait to be let in - Wait for the network and/or electricity to come back on
There are "job" tasks and there are "meta job" tasks. Work about work, but not actually work. #business
