My job has its ups and downs. Right before the 1st and the 15th of every month, our office is a madhouse of activity and it's all I can do to keep afloat. But in the intervening periods there are always a few days of absolute, deadly BOREDOM.

So what do I do? Nibble. I just nibbled my way through the entire middle of my ham-and-brie sandwich, PLUS half of the french-bread roll!! It's easy to eat if you nibble.

COME ON, PHONE, RING!!! Save me from myself!!

What do you do when there's nothing to do and you're trapped?

You pick up the phone and call somebody! Daydream about Mel Gibson? Ummm... let's see... post at LBT like crazy! Share that wisdom girl! As long as you have your mind and your imagination... you are never trapped.

I know what you mean about boredom, that was a biggy for me too. How about cleaning out your desk or something like that to pass the time by? I am still young in this journey but I didn't realize you would be able to eat sandwiches, let alone french rolls? I am dying for bread!! I didn't think it would be a possibility anymore after the banding, does it go down okay?

I hear you.

I am trying to keep myself busy by generating my reports for Jan. Plus I just ate my lunch so I am safe till 3 I am hoping.

Misty, normally I wouldn't have eaten the bread for lunch; I almost never take more than a bite of it. But when it's possible to sit for an hour and nibble, sure, bread can go down. :rolleyes The bread in question was a very dark multi-grain baguette type of bread, so it took a lot of chewing in the first place. And with all this empty time to fill it was too tempting!

Hell, it isn't that I have nothing to do; there's ALWAYS something to do. But it's too darned quiet. I'm a multi-tasker and cleaning out my desk is NOT an option!

I always come on here and post, balace my checkbook, browse on the computer, pay bills, or find a book to glance through. Although usually there isn't any spare time for me! Sometimes I make out a grocery list so that I have something in my hand at the store.

I have a very boring job, so I find myself often on LBT posting meaningless dribble, LOL! I am also researching everything I can about home building. And, I am an avid gardner so I am ALL OVER Gardenweb. If there is one thing I do really well, it's research on the internet. Gosh, one of these days I'll probably get reprimanded for constantly being on-line, but who cares, LOL!

I can't say I know how you feel.... CAUSE I CAN"T GET MY NOSE OUT OF THIS COMPUTER SINCE I FOUND LBT!!!! MY HOUSE WORK IS GOING UNDONE AND MY POOR HUSBAND THINKS I'VE LOST MY BRAIN IN CYBER SPACE AND MY LITTLE GIRL IS VERY MAD AT MOMMY LATELY THAT SHE ISN'T GETTING HER TURN ON BARBIE .COM. I AM ADDICTED TO THE BAND THAT I DON'T EVEN HAVE YET UHHH!!!! Okay I feel better now. Its a good thing thing that this is my day off and that you guys are here to take my bordom away! Thanks!!
