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?

A tale from one of my former colleagues
from Orange, circa 1999. He'd been forced into some horrendous buzzword-laden management-speak conference and got bored, as you do. He started to doodle.
Although he didn't get your come-uppance (in that the doodles weren't traced to him) he did manage to leave his drawings on the chair when he was gratefully allowed to flee the building.
Of course, I wasn't allowing him to get off that lightly. What had he drawn, I asked.
Apparently, there was a submarine. A desert island. Tower Bridge in London. A woman having sex with a dog. An AK-47 with the word 'Jihad' written underneath. A sheep with an axe through it's neck. And a sketch of one of the visiting speakers, with the words "THIS MAN IS A TOOL" in large, friendly letters.
