Do drugs!
I do know what you mean. Me myself is these days stuck in a corner office, but during summer there is absolutely nothing useful to do so I scour the internet constantly to be entertained. I hate it.

Start playing a MUD. Text-based so you're not fucked if someone checks to see what you're up to.
Or go bug your boss and see what he's doing and make him explain it, and ask him stupid questions. Either he'll talk to you or give you some button sorting to do to keep you off his back.

Since you're sitting in a law firm office, might as well get yourself something to do then.
I'd seriously consider bugging the boss (even if it is your dad) for something to do. Or at least for someone less busy to bug for something to do. The worst thing that can happen is that he'll fire you and you can stay home with nothing to do, but you no longer have to worry about the boss catching playing games at work. If the job's not paying, there's really nothing to lose, is there?
I like grabbing random material from around the office and reading it, and asking people what this or that means when I don't understand what it's talking about myself. Since it's usually work related, it helps when I actually get assignments too.

Hey again alffla!
I also did some work experience in a Hong Kong law firm whose boss, although not my dad, was a good friend of my dad's (!). I guess you are around Admiralty?? I too, found it really fucking boring lol. I remember just going to court most of the time as there was pretty much nothing I could do in the office and everyone else was so busy.
How big is the firm btw? In my experience the bigger firms have much more developed internship programs to stop you dying from boredom. The one I went to in HK had just 3 solicitors :S
Also, as your boss is your dad and you can be more frank with him. Ask him to sit down with you and explain exactly wtf is going on with a particular client. It makes it soooo much more interesting to read whatever documents there are once you've got a background. You prob have done this already though after 1.5 weeks and was still bored like fuck (understandable!)

I am in the same situation.. I am working as a volunteerer in hospital (Queen Mary Hospital, HK), was pretty boring as we are not allowed to treat patients. I just sat there and watch doctors diagnosing and treating patients.
The experience is quite interesting at first, but sucks afterwards because you have to work for 4 weeks to get a certificate. Sigh, recently i tried to chat with the nurses and other fellow volunteers...
Your situation is more boring though i guess T.T Just speak to him face to face show him that you are really determined in doing art....
good luck mate =P

If you actually do nothing why your dad want you to be there anyway. I know nothing about cube reality other then film cube but it doesn't sound like it they didn't have PC and so on.
It actually sound good to me, doing what you want not being brothered by anything and being paid for it. I hate to draw .

I'd rather get a paycheck for my work with my pops than an allowance =p

I hate working with my Dad. There's nothing to do, and I feel like I'm getting paid for doing nothing. Most of the word I did was licking stamps. Although, he's telling me I'm going to be in charge of making the fliers... Hmm. Looks like I'll be getting so moola soon.
