    apart from reading mind numbing threads about "hot to fix the recession" , "the most boring fact you know" and "most memorable sex scenes"... i've read most threads here and considering taking up different hobbies based on other threads knocking about

    If you can surf boards all day in work as you seem to be doing then thats a start. If you're extra bored then start a topic that will get everyone talking.

    Google Eircom crossword and Indo crossword - print these off... there's half an hour gone right there...Enjoy! And if anyone knows what a fireproof material is with 8 letters I'd appreciate the help:D

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Put your new work colleagues "together" in your mind. If you're in a big office, months can pass!

    Being a teacher I've no time to get bored, trawl Boards or anything else that isn't work related. If you're bored at work get a proper job.

    I concede that holidays are indeed almost always an integral and fundamental element to both of the aforementioned leisure activities, though one need not necessarily be 'on holidays' to partake in either. My point though was that even on holidays I have no bored moments, the reference to jet-setting and high living was a intended as self-deprecatory. I don't have the funds for that malarkey. P Diddy I am not.

    look out the window on the street below to scan for hot chicks, look out at the office across the road to see if "Dr David Kelly" lookalike is about, or the hot girl in the window above his office is looking across at me and the people who share my office.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    I often go to a local shop for a snack and a newspaper when i'm bored.
    Most days, i play my i-pod.
    I have the best boss in the world.;)

    I don't have time to get bored in work. It actually amuses me how quickly the day passes because we just don't have time to do anything else, just work. I don't know whether I envy anyone who has time to mess around all day or am just happy that it feels like 20 minutes from start to lunch, and another 20 from then to the end of the day.

    Does the same apply to anyone else here? It really seems like everyone else is on cushy numbers where it comes to internet usage etc. at times!
