A retail job other than the supermarket might be interesting. Alternately, take a notepad instead of a novel and doodle/write instead of read when there are no customers.
I don’t know if your BS in comp engineering includes other aspects of computer work than programming, and I don’t know if people hire for Configuration management/process control or reliability testing right away. If the answer is yes to both, then those jobs are much more structured than “make the computer do this ’kay by.” I’ve never had a programming job where I didn’t have to report to CM/process often enough that I felt I could get away with slacking. Lots of itty bitty crunch times.
