Do quest that don’t suck?
But here’s what I did: Just run around outside Megaton. You’ll find a few molerats there. Once you’ve run out, go do other quest/sleep/whatever for a little bit, come back, and do it all again.
And if all else fails, just nuke it. You won’t complete the quest, but it’ll relieve the stress that bitch gave you for giving you this boring quest.
