Since I just got into the office 35 minutes ago, I can only predict how "bored" I am going to be today. Since I will be sitting in a meeting from 10 am - 3 pm, I am not expecting a lot of excitement.

Radar!
A meeting from 10 to 3?!? Ugh! My sympathies!
I'm bored but agitated, because there's a lot of stuff brewing at the upper management level, (some of it with the potential of being quite exciting) but it just hasn't filtered down to hit us yet. Until it does, we're hanging in that awful "standby" mode. Nothing going on right now, but we're all hesitant to start anything major in case we have to drop it all.

Well, since most of the workforce here is gone, leaving Bossie, me, the other girl in the office, and the production foreman, we're playing a lot of clean-up/reorganize. It's not too terribly boring, but I finally have time to catch up on all those things I've been putting off because I just didn't want to do them. I've been on hold several times (I hate being on hold!), and I hate wading through misc. paperwork.
But on the plus side, Bossie is in a GREAT mood.

I have only 2 days left before I go on vacation, and we're camping on the coast this weekend, so I'm too excited to be bored! Besides I've had a buncha work dumped on me today (and I expect tomorrow will be the same) because they know they're going to have to make do with a temp. next week! So no time to get bored.

Bored? I should be so lucky!! We're in the middle of budget time, and all of the spreadsheet and database work for my department falls to me during this time. I put in an average of 20 to 25 hours of overtime every week from the beginning of August until around the end of October or middle of November. I HATE this time of year! PLEASE let me be bored -- even if it's just for a couple of hours! We had a temp in last week for a few hours a day just to keep the routine stuff from piling up on my desk! Sigh ... is it 2002 yet??

I'm with Energizer, we've been busier than usual here lately with everything that's been going on, and we just finished our company picnic, and all the planning for that, it just doesn't seem to end. Gone are the days when I used to be bored. I can so relate. Now when I get caught up on work from my last vacation it will be time to do this all over again :::sigh::::. Maybe I will be all caught up by Octoberish? Ooops well forget that, that is when our AP clerk goes on maternity leave and I will be doing more of that, so whenever she comes back, in the meantime busy busy busy.
I'd rather be busy than bored, it just makes the day go by that much faster.

Not bored at all, but everything's not wonderful, so I don't know how to answer that.
Would you believe it's so hot here that the state offices were all closed and all those lucky state employees get to go home?
Wishing now I took that state job instead of this federal one....

Phoenix, you've got to be kidding???Tooo Hot?  Last I heard we had 93, but that was a few hours ago. Now that's a first. Wishing I was a state worker too. Boy some employees have all the luck don't they?? Although given the choice these days I would just as well stay here where it's nice and cool instead of at my hot home. It takes a while for that house to cool down once the A/C has kicked in. Chris68 |

I'm wondering why they're made to come in during blizzards and sent home in 90 degree weather.

Oh, dear! Looking at the stats from this poll, our employers have some motivating to do.
