    I wish my computer had sound. Then i could have a day on youtube.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,399 ✭✭✭Kashkai


    I'm sooooooooooo goddamn bored and its only 9.37 :eek:

    I've nothing to do, and no one else in this place is the talkative type. As for office babes, hah, there hasn't been one of them sighted since I married her :D.

    Yup, its going to be a long day but then I'm going home to play Deadspace on my ps3, then watch The Dark Knight on blu ray, drink my way through 6 tins of Bulmers and eat a box of Quality Street so at least I've something to look forward to.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    I have no work to do. So boring.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,811 ✭✭✭Gone Drinking

    I can not function with a hangover.

    I'm still in bed. Gotta plaster the bathroom at some stage though. Gonna have a nap first.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 297 ✭✭oztots


    Theres to many people in my office (about 4/26).

    This may not seem like much, but i now feel the need to ring home and abuse all the students who are off, and anybody else that doesnt work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,158 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    I am sales rep so my office is my car and it currently only contains me and my manly whiffs.

    Im currently contemplating how to fill the next two days. I got new tyres on my car this morning but now Im bored.

    All I have left to do today is to collect my mothers ham. Thats the only truly important thing to do today. :D

    Do what I did as a sales rep, sit in the car all day listening to the radio, then go out and work for the last hour.

    Hmmm car is fitted with tracking device so I could just drive to a location, sit and read a a few chapters in a book, drive to the next place and so on and so forth.

    Instead I think I will now go to my mothers house to do my expenses. Well after spending €300 on my laser for tyres I really need to do them. I am owed now around €550 through expenses. I am so behind in my expenses.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 347 ✭✭Irlbo


    Ah I cant stand the boredom,It 10.56,feels like being here a year since 9am

    I'm going out of my mind with the boredom. I have pretty much full internet access but my screen can be seen by most of the office. Sick. Boards is grand cause it kind of looks like work from a distance.

    Went to the canteen at 11.00 to break the boredom and to see if there was anyone to talk too. However all I found there was a choir from work who insisted on singing hymns all through the coffee break, not one single christmas carol to break the religious theme. I thought I was in a bloody church, might as well have been as no one was talking and they had their heads bowed.

    12.10, another 5 hours to go :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 297 ✭✭oztots

    Increasing loop now, more pics to follow.

    Just think that i'm meant to be fixing airplanes right now. But then again it was my boss who brought the racetrack in. Theres entertainment to be had seeing the head of airplane overhaul unable to get a little car around a loop.
