Having the boss monitor you with a stopwatch is characteristic of a
job where you are paid by the millisecond.  That sometimes works with
hourly employees.  However, it doesn't apply to salaried professional
or exempt employees who are more commonly paid by the job and not by
the millisecond:
<https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/exempt-employee.asp>
If you "never worked one job where a boss didn't demand full
attention", you were likely NOT receiving a salary and working as an
exempt employee, professional, manager, executive, or consultant.
 
I also find it odd the you wrote "a boss" instead of "my boss" or "my
manager".  Hourly employees might have one of more managers.  Salaried
professionals usually have a single manager, even if you worked for a
committee.
 
At one company, the chief engineer would walk around the lab and
remark "am I paying you for this" if he saw anyone doing something he
considered not job related.  Eventually, he was asked by the other
managers to stop doing that because it was highly disruptive and
usually resulted in work coming to a screeching halt.

Jeff, what do you know about real jobs?

Not much.  I worked in various real jobs and consulting gigs after
graduating from college in 1971:

After 1984, I opened my own computer service and consulting business
and worked profitably ever after until I retired in 2021.

Were you able to recall what you did in the 17 years between leaving
the USAF in 1967:

"I was born in October of 1944. I joined at 17.5 Those with the
ability to add would assume that I joined the Air Force in May of
1961. 4 years of active duty and two years inactive liable to be
recalled would to most people mean that I got off of active duty in
1965 and finished my service of the Air Force in 1967."

and your return to a real job at Thoratec Laboratories in 1984?

(I like your "Those with the ability to add...", where you insult the
reading and arithmetic abilities of your audience).

BTW, did you ever find or reconstruct your 14 page resume which you
claim was erased from your computer by a malicious computer
technician?
