Bored at work - entertain me!

geoko

Seriously... bored... right now... need... entertainment.

(I just got done sending out text messages of me wrapped in cables saying "The cable gnome commands you!" and now I am out of ideas for things to do again.)

I propose the "Bored at work" thread, for those who, like me, are bored and at work.

On any other day, I'd totally be down for some hardcore forum procrastination. But today I'm packing all our stuff into boxes. We have so many goddamned books it's not funny.

I think my favorite creepy antidote for boredom is this:

It loads a selection of the most recent pictures on Livejournal. It's fascinating and occasionally NSFW since some people just refuse to let Goatse die.

UH... you could go browse my artwork forum.

That's all I got, I'm at an art opening and not old enough to drink/have no friends, and thus bored.

lol omfg imo this is too funny. My boss put "do the hussel" on his playlist at work.

I don't work at this time but I DO go to college. I will have a class until 12:35 and another class at 6:00 pm (it's a night class). Home is an hour and a half drive away so I just stick around the school with the other people in the same predicament and play LAN games in one of the computer labs. The fact there are a bunch of people sitting in a computer lab at a school plyaing Halo amuses me when I think about it. College is so much more awesome than work. Now If I could get paid to go to college instead of having to pay to go there life would be perfect.

You need to post lots of strange quotes around your workplace that don't make any sense. Some should be fake inspirational posters.

There's one by my desk that says

INTEGRITY
Wisdom is knowing which path to take...
Integrity is taking it.

it's beautifully cliche.

Oh, and i used to do darn near the same thing at school. most of the brew panels that didn't have much drawing on them were ones i did at school on my laptop. I'd just go post up in the library and play video games or play around online, though it wasn't because of the distance to get home, it's because if i went home, i almost NEVER went back to school. I realized just staying there was my best bet.

I read random quotes on bash.org sometimes when I'm bored at work. It's nice because the page is all text so I can load it up in an eLinks session in a PuTTY terminal and if no one looks closely they'll think I'm doing regular techie things.

OK, now I'm sick at home and confined to this not-all-that-comfortable futon, and I require entertainment. The forum is dead! Internet, you have failed me!

Oh noes! What ails you Stef? Hopefully this essay about how the characters from Fight Club are actually the grown up characters from Calvin and Hobbes can help ya out.

I used to read a lot of bash.org back in "the day". But then a large amount of the conversations seemed so forced, like they were purposefully being zany enough for bash.org submission. Or else the last entry in the convo would say "dude this should totally go up on bash.org".
