I have sat and stared at my computer willing something interesting to pop up for the past...oh, 7 hours. I've read everything on CH, typed in random names and phrases on Google, read the Punk Planet, The NY Times and The Independent, drove all the way home during my lunch break just to get my cell phone, stared at my calendar, walked upstairs to get some M&Ms, checked my email exactly 14 times, read old emails just for the hell of it, listened to my boss tell stories of druken debauchery, walked to and from Kinko's just cuz it takes longer than driving...and I still have 2 FRIGGIN hours left. And nothing to do. Bleah.

Posted by: Nuala on May 28, 2003 03:33 PMemployers should really install TVs or allow reading books so we can entertain ourselves when we have nothing to do. that way we are still present in case there actually is something to do, but we don't have to kill ourselves with boredom when there isn't anything to do.

Posted by: michele on May 28, 2003 04:13 PMAt least you finished it. You never have to bother with them again.
I think you have even more mindless work than I do.
And Jade I second the being able to watch TV or read. I'd get through my books much faster that way.
