Bored

Bored = the state of being weary and restless through lack of interest.

I am bored at work. Images of banging head on desk and picking nose seems far more interesting today! Snoozed alarm for 30 minutes this morning as a result am only half dressed for work with hair resembling the appearance of having stuck it in a tumble dryer, make-up smeared on with a slingshot. Fortunately the unhalf dressed bit is hidden under my desk. Fortunately I do not have a date tonight. Fortunately boss is still on vacation so i can sit here and bang my head on desk and pick my nose.

This boredom appears to be reoccurring. It happened frequently in previous jobs until juicy challenges came my way. This weekend shall have a brainstorming scheming session with best friend to start my own Empire! (dun dun daaaaahhhHHHH! oh yes, Regina takes on the world!)

Narrowing it down, I can say that the following things about my job really bore me senseless:
9-6pm thing - it's so ol' school.

1 hour lunches - again, so old school.

Working 5 days a week - so so old school! I can be more productive in 4 days than most of my colleagues are in 5 days.

Smart dress when one only sits ones desk all day - just unecessary

Male boss with PMS who leave threatening voicemails - unecessary and next time i shall be telling him where to go!

Small minded nosey colleagues who are more concerned with what everyone else does, rather than doing their job - i sooOOooo would have sacked him if it was my business as he is useless! I do more work than him on a non-productive day than the most productive day he's ever had!

Monotonous monotony of the job can sometimes kill braincells on a daily basis if there is not enough creativity involved.

In essence, I do love my job, the challenge it brings, the fabulous people i meet and building relationships with people. But for some reason I just get bored working on the same thing for more than 6 months! It used to be 1 year, but now that it has decreased to 6 months, me thinks it's time to do something about it!

I'm leaving my job. Today. Gonna try the whole 'lets be a full time writer' thing even if it means I'm poor.

For now, poor seems better than stressed to the nines.

When I'm poor...stressed/bored will probably sound better.

Ask me in a few months.
