Unfortunately, a lot of people who no longer are employed used to enjoy the same luxury. Working at Uni job probably affords some degree of job security, but certainly in the private sector all of that downtime (deserved, justified, or otherwise) does NOT go unnoticed by management. More and more, it's being decided that it's better off to save the money by cutting the position, and having a couple people in the office who can't use the color printer.
I'm not saying you don't deserve the job, or anything else derogatory towards you, but be ever concious at any job that people take note of your _perceived_ workload, and tend not to care why you might not have much to do. Take pains to appear busy and useful, now more than ever. ;)
