    Office Boredom

    Help me.......


    Im sat in an office with two middle aged women. One doesn't talk, the other wont shut up (all about her sons growing pains for the last 15 mins). Too efficiant for my own good and have no work to do. Forum is boring. no longer really take part in talks about technical side to dancing as nothing I ever say about it seems right. Will just let them argue amoungst themselves.

    Anyway. Im really bored.

    Anyone got any good office boredom fixes that I could give ago?

    Re: Office Boredom

    I share an office with 5 men (all ugly) and one smelly woman. They all bore the ass off me one way or t'other.

    Here's a great idea...why don't you spend all day posting on the forum?


    Err...hang on a minute.

    Try to go round the whole room without touching the floor. We once did that at my office on a Friday afternoon when we were bored sh*tless. Ring the middle-aged women from a mobile (witholding your number) and ask to speak to Mike Hunt/Hugh Janus/Hugh Jardon/ Hugh G Rection/Philip Heanus.

    Or just bring a bottle of vodka in, hide it in your desk and take regular swigs throughout the day.

    I alway try to weasle out of doing work. weasling out of things is what seperates us from the animals. Except the weasle.

    Have done all my work for the day. Thats the prob. I work too quick. Could offer to do someone elses but it's their prob that they have so much as chatting about hair/telly/make up etc all morning.

    There is a women in the office and if you ask ‘did you have a nice weekend ‘ at 9am Monday morning , she finally stops talking about the neighbours grandsons friends lost cat early Friday afternoon

    Too bring fun to the day I sometimes get the boss de café coffee instead of the real thing which he has asked for. Then I apologise and go back to the coffee machine and get him a hot chocolate

    Doing this about 12 times i.e. keep getting him the wrong drink kills an hour

    Re: Office Boredom

    At Norwich Union years back before they got rid of all our jobs and 'off shored' them We used to play boss tennis.

    When the boss comes and asks you something you have to send them to the other side of the room by saying something like "I think dave was after you earlier". The person who 'drops the boss' i.e. the boss walks away, is the looser.

    You can make it harder for yor oponent by saying things like "Dave's finnished his project you gave him and wanted to discuss it" knowing full well that Dave hasn't even started on it and it's due after lunch.

    Just been sent the grossest picture I have ever seen (and I've seen Gav posing with just a hat!). Boredom is no longer the problem, My mental sanity is.

    Im just about to burn my eyes, throw my PC out the window and put dissinfectant in my ears to clean my brain.
