Relieve the boredom by having a pointless circular argument with one of the members. Remember to abuse them when you can't be bothered. I suggest you start in the basement where

24 days to go, can't get any work done.
Countdown fever is good, put a chart on the wall for all to see and pee off your soon to be former colleagues. Also nobody will notice a missing 24 days of IT contract work.

Level 3 - in physical and mental pain and would normally pack up quietly, send resignation email and walk, but wife, kids, etc preventing this normal and rational response.
Suggestions please ?
