Patience required!

I agree on that with whatnext: itīs not only the waiting when you are on the road (or rather in the air) but also you have to pass sometimes weeks or even months without flying because...new pilots doing their supervision or aircraft in maintenance longer than expected plus any other reasons.

In other words, you should not feel uncomfortable being home a lot doing nothing or even worse being in a room at your homebase doing nothing. It is rarely mentioned but this is the other extreme of being away all the time!
In my former company, a citation ultra was grounded twice, each time for five months due to mainteance reasons; fortunately, that was not the aircraft I flew on!

As already pointed out several times: each operation/job can be completely different!
