    Hi i'm just wondering what everyone does when they are not busy at work? Like at the moment i'm very quiet and i feel like i should be doing loads!! i feel really guilty when i'm not doing something! I can't make it look like i'm busy....
    I'm in an office on my own though so i guess i should be grateful for that at least...:(

    Go on t'interweb 'til I find out I'm in the 'Top 10' highest users in my office and a monthly report circulates around management to that effect....now I just sit there being bored. :D

    Whenever Pighead is alone in an office which is hardly ever he tends to look at the calender in front of him and read the "thought of the day" from it.

    Pighead's not in an office now but if he were the thought of the day would probably be "I want to convey how beautiful it is to close your eyes and dream. And then to open them and make that dream a reality"

    That's a Puff Daddy thought and it basically means "I'm rich beyond my wildest dreams. Fcuk you motherfcukers"

    Look for a new job. If you have nothing to do be prepared.

    Pighead doesn't usually do this but your plight has touched his heart so he will give you a sneak preview to tomorrows thought of the day in an effort to help you through your lonely days.

    "You shall never be lonely as long as you truly know yourself"

    That's the key babes. Get to know yourself and then loneliness shall no longer be your foe.
    If that doesn't work use one of those chatlines.

    Set yourself targets...



    Today see how many organisms you can have while playing with yourself.
    Tomorrow beat that number and each day afterwards set yourself a target of beating the previous day's target.

    End result? You have something to do, targets to meet and you're happy.:D

    Go for a power nap in the jax. Make sure you set the alarm on your mobile phone to wake you up in 15 -20mins. Do this a few times a day to combat the hours of boredom......

    :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,814 ✭✭✭TPD


    Watch a show or play a game. Sometimes watch a film or read a book.

    Use the left overs of other dishes to experiment with new recipes and feed the service staff with them. like, if there are a lot of bones laying around ill feck around with sauce recipies etc. Always a good way to kill an hour between services.

    Go for a smoke, cup of tea or just browse random websites. No message boards though, too distracting.
