Boredom is universal

Back in the day when I dispised my job and was bored to the point of naseua on a daily basis, I found it much easier to update my site two, three or twelve times throughout the day. Now, since my new job is so busy my head is on one side of the office on a conference call while my fingers are typing an e-mail on the other side, I never have time to sit and write a truly witty entry. Or at least one that will keep my rabid readers at bay for one more evening.

In light of these developments, I’ve asked a friend of mine (who is so bored today at work that she actually agreed to do this) to write down what she has done at work today and let me publish it for the whole, wide Internet to read. Good thing my friends are bored.

Top 15 things I have done at work today:

1. Talked about sex toy parties and how my coworker has access to an inventory of them
2. Read more about the Katrina aftermath and the 76 year old man who survived on a gallon of water for 18 days.
3. Got excited about and played with marketing toys we got at a SHRM conference last week, mostly toy cars filled with mints, noise makers, and bubble makers (my desk is now sticky) .
4. Ordered $40 worth of Christmas stuff from the VP’s daughters fund raiser for new playground equipment.
5. Played solitaire with a standing of 5-1
6. Emailed the woman who took me horseback riding Saturday to tell her I was sore and scared to get back on a horse since I was thrown off Saturday morning.
7. Thinking up team names for the volleyball teams on our company retreat that I am not invited to
8. Spoke to a co worker’s baby’s daddy who works for B&V about getting my boyfriend a job, and then wished her luck as she left early for a job interview
9. Read the “fax times” and was very disappointed in the jokes
10. Watched the storm come in from the north from our 12th story view
11. Discussed how we all need to watch Oprah and her interview with Jennifer Aniston tonight
12. Decorated ourselves with stick-on craft jewels so we looked like women from India.
13. Convinced ourselves we should not go to the new Sheridans that opened across the street in Crown Center.
14. Read the nutrition facts on the jar of peanut butter on my desk – I should put it away.
15. Discussed how we should send something to the guy in the office who’s wife just had a baby, it can wait until tomorrow…

Take your pick, this is seriously what I have done today.
