We all of us get bored now and then. Let's have a place to commiserate and share anti-boredom tactics. ;)b

I need this thread! I am having my first day off in god knows how long, and there won't be another one in god knows how long...you'd think this would mean I'm celebrating but I think I'm shellshocked! I'm sitting here all jumpy like I'm sure I should be doing something...but I don't have anything to do :P
Yep bored silly, the family is glued to the boob tube, so I fixed a cup of tea and will sit while contemplating my boredom.
I'm bored and all of you suck.
I know that feeling well, theo. :-\ Heh.
Bake something? It's a good start to the day (even if it's almost noon already), and will make your house smell gooOod.
Just don't ruin whatever you make, like I did yesterday. ::)
I'm bored and tired and feel like yelling at people since there were total weewees at work today and also parents that think I'm there to babysit their kids. AND my parents have forbid me to bake because it is hot out. Harumph.
I know I'm tired when I feel bored, in the way that nothing pleases you and you can't concentrate on anything for longer than about 5 min. I have learned to break out certain mindless DVDs at that point, and just lie there and watch them. Otherwise the only feasible thing is to take a sleeping pill and go to bed at like 2 PM, because when I'm that tired, if I try to do anything that requires even minimum concentration, I will screw it up. And that will make me even grumpier.
Well said (as usual) Yabbit. That is exactly how I felt yesterday. I was feeling so blah that I couldn't even decide on which mindless DVD to watch. Luckily some kind soul was streaming The Muppet Show on justin.tv and that was exactly what I needed. What a great show!

this sounds like a combination of depression/ADD - why do i know this....? a little birdie told me 8-)
I have a list of things to do when I'm bored. Things that I need to finish long-term, or different projects I can do with things around the house, etc. It's nice. Then when you are bored you just pick from the list. Keep it on your desktop or something.

how do you motivate yourself to do the stuff, though? i think i like being bored or something because i have a million things i could do but i just don't. ha.

I just pick something that I kind of forgot about. I dunno. Like, not something that's in my face all the time like "You need to do this!" Something I forgot I could do. I dunno. Coffee helps.

for me, when i'm bored, the last thing i want to do is stuff that i normally put off because i see it as too boring to do. :-[

I have this problem sometimes too, Hannah. For me, being bored is a bi-product of being lazy. ha.
I'm super bored at home lately......I didn't get a converter box for tv, so that is out. Not usually a big deal since i rarely watch anyway. Yesterday my cat bit through my computer cord and now I can't use my computer at home at all now! I was all excited about going to the library on my lunch break today, and guess what? the library is closed on mondays!!!! Maybe I will actually have to go home and clean and all that stuff I usually hate doing!!

No, it's sporadic, like one day out of a year. And sometimes it's a precursor to a lowgrade fever/cystitis, but not always. Sometimes I'm just mentally tired, since my job is verbal. I just need to chill out sometimes.
*bump*
