Boredom at work

hey all I was just wondering what everyone is doing, im sat at work bored out my brain the phone hasn’t rang once today the boss is out I sat and watched a film on my laptop and now im on here writing this chatting on messenger etc.
So what are you lot up to??

 

I'm bored at work every day. It's freaking rediculous. Lately I've played in the arcade on this site and read up on guild wars. I was playing NES and Genesis emulators/ROMs for a while though.

 

Surely there is something you can see that needs doing at work???? Maybe someone else is swamped and you could offer to help them out?? Beats sitting their bored IMO

 

I'm pretty much bored at work too.
I am a Financial Controller so there's not a lot of humour in that really!
It's not the most creative job in the world so I do empathise.
I'm off to Spain for a week so hoefully it 'll recharge the batteries!

 

I wish I was at work.

Of course, if I was, I wouldn't be able to be online, since I actually have to work while I'm there.

 

there no1 else here just me and the boss lol if things get to borin ill probably play poker or something but my new screen for my fone (which i smashed in a moment of anger, costin £35 ) so ill fix that and the boss bringing back a pc to sort out so hopefully my day gonna b a little more exciting today and who knows maybe the work phone will ring today as it didnt ring yesterday lol

 

Bored at work? Not this guy...

Rob is a commercial saturation diver for Global Divers in Louisiana. He performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs. Below is an e-mail he sent to his sister. She then sent it to radio station in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, who was sponsoring a worst job experience contest. Needless to say, she won.

Hi Sue:

Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother. Last week I had a bad day at work, I know you've been feeling down lately at work, so I thought I would share my dilemma with you to make you realize it's not so bad after all.

Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a few technicalities of my job. As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit to the office. It's a wet suit. This time of year the water is quite cool. So what we do to keep warm is this: We have a diesel powered industrial water heater. This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of the sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature. It then pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose, which is taped to the air hose. Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and I've used it several times with no complaints. What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is take the hose and stuff it down the back of my wet suit.

This floods my whole suit with warm water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi. Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to itch. So, of course, I scratched it. This only made things worse. Within a few seconds my butt started to burn. I pulled the hose out from my back, but the damage was done. In agony I realized what had happened. The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my suit. Now, since I don't have any hair on my back, the jellyfish couldn't stick to it. However, the crack of my butt was not as fortunate.

When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish into the crack of my butt. I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator. His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with five other divers, were all laughing hysterically. Needless to say I aborted the dive. I was instructed to make three agonizing in-water decompression stops totaling thirty-five minutes before I could reach the surface to begin my chamber dry decompression.

When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet. As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter running down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my butt as soon as I got in the chamber. The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't poop for two days because my butt was swollen shut.


So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think about how much worse it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your butt. Now repeat to yourself, "I love my job, I love my job, I love my job"

 

ROFLMAO that must b painful ive never been stung thankfully but i hear its painful lol

 

I wonder if that is listed as a hazard in the job description?

 

When I worked in an office, if I got bored, I would shoot erasers at other co-workers. Just make sure the boss don't catch ya. http://forums.majorgeeks.com/images/smilies/wink.gif


@Kiwi Nice to see you girl. Hope all is well. I've missed seeing your around.

 

The two arcade games I've won....yeah those are from complete boredom and free time.

 

well when the boss here if bored we chuck a stress toy (pc + monitor shape) at each other, only rule is its got to bounce off a at least 1 wall filing cabnet etc. but it not that fun chucking it at myself when he not here lol

 

Haha that'd be entertaining. My boss typical dozes off a few times a day (when he is here). It's just me and him here about 95% of the week.
