    I had a cup of coffee and a digestive.. yum yum


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 192 ✭✭jimmidy_cricket


    It just dawned on me...are we being off topic here? discussing coffe breaks and the like? And isn't after hours for all things non-work related?

    Don't ban me...ban Nightshiftguy...he started it.

    I too am bored (obviously) no-one is replying to my e-mails, I've read the paper..


    Ahahahaha I'm going home now...yipeeeee!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,563 ✭✭✭connundrum


    I'm bored in work, there's so much I could be doing but I really don't wanna do anything. Listening to Newstalk which is pretty funny, dunno what I'll do when this program ends :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 209 ✭✭Nightshiftguy


    Ah well here we o again. Have a really bad cold today am more bored than usual and its a friday. so i suppose thats something good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 317 ✭✭kellxor.1337


    I feel ur pain, Not the cold but the boredom,

    In an office,
    Making an access database,
    And i'm about to fall over with boredom, I can only go out for so many fags in one day, Roll on 3.45

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 192 ✭✭jimmidy_cricket


    Yes roll on 3 indeed. Hoping to work through lunch and get off early. Heater is making my eyes sting :(

    Someone say something interesting...please


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 526 ✭✭✭mandz



    Anyone stuck in the same situation.

    yep, pretty much the same here. I'm stuck on reception in the office all week as the recetionist is off. I hate it cause i'm kinda expected to do my typing whilst answering the phone (which can be quite busy). I try to ignore my tapes though, i'm currently shredding paper to give me something to do


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 209 ✭✭Nightshiftguy


    than god i ain't the only one. Me needs a day off i think..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 192 ✭✭jimmidy_cricket


    What I'd give for a paper shredder...My job is so mundane that I cut the waste paper into four, staple them together and make notepads. Thats me doing my bit to save the rain forests or some such sh!te


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 317 ✭✭kellxor.1337


    I love shredding paper lol,

    Great way to pass the time

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 192 ✭✭jimmidy_cricket


    I love fridays when I'm not working the weekend. I noly get every 3rd weekend off and This is one of them Thank god...I've just worked 10 days straight.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 209 ✭✭Nightshiftguy

    Saturday's a bad day to move. Wednesday's the best day? Don't know why. Personally I wouldn't re-arrange any plans to move on a Wednesday as opposed to any other day in the week, in saying that though, I've moved on a Friday and have also delayed moving till a Monday to avoid doing it on the weekend..part superstion, part social reasons!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 184 ✭✭foggy


    Saturday's a bad day to move. ..part superstion, part social reasons!

    Is this from the old saying saturday flit, short sit?
    A lot of older people will not come out of hospital on a saturday as they think they will be back sooner if they leave on a saturday.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 100 ✭✭Zeppie


    Fridays are always quiet in my place recently. Am bored to death!

    Mind you ...I've been waiting for this day all week, ever since most of Tuesday felt like a Friday! I was gutted when I realised it was no where near the end of the week :(

    God I don't know where it came from I just remember telling someone I was moving and was told oh no not Saturday thats a bad day to move, feck it maybe they just wanted me to go on the rip with them instead? I dunno!
