    I am so bored at work these days. The firm is small and there’s nowhere for me to progress. Motivation is non existent. I’ve been applying for jobs for over a year with no success. Anyone in a similar position?

    bored at work at least you have employment,you would be even worse if you had nothing coming in the door..

    apparently its easier to get work when you are currently employed,but the jobs market is slow now so thats why you probably have no luck.

    While they are paying you to do nothing, study.

    Send emails to hot girls who work there and get some excitement going then go the toilet and have a peddle and crank. Repeat the process with different girls or you could give me your job?!

    This was not a friendly fire. This was not a forest fire. It was a fire in the woods
