Bored

[siringo]

Over many years, I've been continually flat out at work and I've had nothing to do and I am postive, nothing to do is far worse than flat out.

I'm talking, getting up for weeks, months with the only thing to do at work is close up at knock off time.

It really kills you mentally.

The only thing worse is being out of work.

10:47am and I'm wondering what I can do this afternoon, currently nothing is planned.

That would suck , what do you do ?

I've done that during down-turns a few times. You start by catching up on all the little stuff you never had time for, then you do all the things on your wish list, then tidy up, then try to look busy and eventually you give that up too -- yeah, it sucks.

Some of the best ideas the world has seen have come from bored minds wondering what to do with themselves. It's not always easy to do and the law of averages says we are not all going to come up with a million dollar idea but that doesn't stop us trying to think of a thousand dollar idea.

I don't advocate anyone sitting on their arse day dreaming about making their first million especially while someone pays them a wage to be at work but that should never stop people thinking.

probably plenty of things to do if you look around (sweep, dust, organise, face up shelves, chase up overdue credits ect) I don't know what you do though so I just made a general list.

Yep, no I'm fine. The weather is superb today, so that's a good thing. Hopefully once the election is done things will start to ramp up once more.

I work (or sit and wait) in IT, have for 24 years.

Prob to do with the anitbiotics = no alcohol while on them.

On the QI the other week Stephen Fry said that's all a con job by the pharmacy companies.

Which is really, really stupid, because if you're tanked, you stand a greater risk of hurting yourself and requiring even more of their products.

Someone ought to have a word in their shareholders' ears.

Same here.. Work in IT and it's *really* slow.. There is only so many "backups" you can verify, routers you can test and cabling you can tidy up..

I think my brain dies a little each day... I'm not keen to jump ship until things start to sprighten up again..

Until then.. I can say I have learnt my D40 inside out from here

Morphene and beer don't mix
Mmmm beer

Don't knock it til you try it, then again, maybe not a good idea.

its pretty darn quiet every where, hopefully once this numb nut election is over things might start moving again.

Oh dear, was in IT and had a contract that was basically sitting around doing SFA and once a month I flew to a capital city to upgrade a system. I lasted only three months before I split.
