Workplace Boredom
There's got to be more to your working day than loafing around the internet, says tfi049113. How do you fill those long, empty desperate hours?

well... it's been a while since being in a real work place...
Back in the day's when I had a real life boss I would rarely find myself without a task or 14 at hand.
So my time really was spent doing my job, it was however on a frequent enough basis that I would arrive with a hangover and didn't much fancy working...
Being in a position of responsibility allowed me to choose when what and why I did what ever it was I was supposed to do...
Of course I invented games, we had a large warehouse much fun was had on skate boards, pump trucks generally loafing...
But my favourite boredom activity was to basically disappear - I would get bored, go for a cigarette, and simply go for a walk, maybe just to the shops, maybe around the block - maybe just to the random other units on the estate...
and once - all the way home... no one questioned me, no one noticed and to put it bluntly - I think it was one of my most productive days!
Oh I used to get bored and spend hours on the phone - just randomly chatting to suppliers and customers, didn't need to speak to them, sometimes didnt want to speak to them, but it makes you look busy and it allowed me to chum up to them and when I left I was able to use all of their services for really good rates... woo go me...
this was supposed to be funny, but I guess I jsut actually like working, and hmmm wandering off!
