Boredom

[yellownana]

Golly gosh, i'm so very bored..... I am eating loads of rubbish cos i'm so very bored.. I'll weigh 15 stone by the end of the week at this rate!!!!!!! What do you guus do when you're bored, apart from the obvious, coming on here :-)

[middkazsam]

lol snap im bored too, i also eat far to much junk when im bored
expecially since i quit moking like 5 months ago ive put on 1 stone :(

[society]

There's so much to life, why should anyone be bored. Be creative and inventive and you'd never be bored.

[mccfluff]

read, eat, drink, send inappropriate text messages

[yellownana]

I would be creative if i was at home, but i'm sat on a reception desk with nothing to do. I have even asked for more work and they don't have any for me :-(

middkazsam, i also quit 7 weeks ago and i think this is why i've put on a stone - Eek!!!!

Think positive. If you fall in the creek, check your pockets for fish.

yellownana keep up the good work :)
you can lose weight you cant grow new lungs

im gonna slim back down for summer right now im enjoying the fact that all food actually has a nice taste now

I'm never bored, too much to do and in so little time!

If I have time to myself I take photos (I'm a keen photographer) or go running or take the dog for a walk.

Do you have any hobbies yellanana?

[society]

you are being paid for doing nothing? Is your boss aware of this?

Clean your desk drawers and on top of your desk

Water the plants in the office

Sharpen pencils

Make a fresh pot of coffee

Answer the phones more often and promptly

[middkazsam]

lol society good answer

[ummmm]

No always possible Society. I use to work in an office and I was allowed to go home when the work was finished. Unless I had to stay for a delivery or something. I told my boss....get the internet or I'm quitting. So he did :-)

[yellownana]

That's a good one about growing he lungs.. I like that, and so very true :-)
I love food loads now too A little too much. I've started eating healthier today as like you, i'd like to be slimmer in the Summer.

CAJ1 - I do have hobbies, but at work there's not much i an do about them :-)

Society - Yes, i know i'm being paid for nothing. I shouldn't be complaining, but i'd much rather be busy. I job share, so can't really start re-arranging everything around. The phones barely ring anyway and i think i've cleaned my desk about 25 times today already.

I have internet access, but there really is only so much you can look at :-)

Oh well, back to eating my grapes *crunch*

[yellownana]

When i mentioned that i had no work to my manager, he told me not to complain.. We can't win can we? lol

[CAJ1]

Ah just seen your answer yellownana...

Hmmm....what about bringing in a book/magazine/crossword book to read/do?

What about doing an online learning course, you could do it at your desk and your boss may praise you for using your time constructively and for using your initiative.

[society]

Grapes is healthy but contains lots of fructose which is sugar. If you're dieting or counting calories them limit your intake.

[yellownana]

CAJ1 - I really do like that idea, but where would i start??? I'll try google, bbuty if you're aware of any good ones in the meantime, please let me know...

Society - I only have a little box of grapes, so i should be ok for today, but thanks for the pointer.. :-)
