"First off, how the hell do you get a job teaching even gradeschool computer science without knowing a single programming language?"
In the UK it is commonplace for CS tutors to be completely clueless about programming languages. He would be better off over the pond.
I would install: gcc, gdb, python, perl, ghc, etc.
Hold up, on Ubuntu I believe most of this is installed by default.
Might as well install Chrome though, and tcc.
"The point of view that they're there at work for you to hit on is inappropriate and unacceptable." That is obvious. I'm male -- At my previous job I had to endure aggressive behaviour, abuse, insults, threats of violence, threats of losing my job and threats of being put on so-called "employment-blacklists" which means you will never get a job ever again. Roughly half a dozen to a dozen incidents per day. Interestingly, all the threats of violence came from women.
They should teach all kids some nasty language x86-assembly. 99% of them will have forgotten all of it by the time they become adults, but they will never forget how frustrating it is to perform simple operations on a machine. As a result, far less people will complain about computers and coders, especially that annoying boss of yours who constantly repeats "just get it done".

It depends entirely on your mood. You could be very productive if you were adept at both.
