Shall I Eat My Teacake Yet?

You know the scene. An office. No-one is talking. The phones aren't ringing. I have a few mediocre tasks to do. I'm tired. The taste of cheese and onion hula hoops is severely opressing me. People try to talk and I just mumble back hoping they'll leave me alone. Wrist hurt means I can't be bothered emailing the people I owe big mails to.

OFFICE SOLUTIONS: what do you get up to when you're bored? Do you write your novel? Do you go and make some coffee? Do you file (you boring bastard)? Do you browse new job websites? And if you're on the 3rd floor, would throwing yourself out of the window into Scotland Yard (the truth, fact fans, it's just down there) just put you in lots of pain and not END THE SUFFERING?

NB this is the civil service, we barely have enough paper clips/rubber bands anyway so do not suggest the paper clip necklace or rubber band ball because I do not haf the raw materials.

I usually, er, just ask questions on ILE! ;-)

Sarah, you used to have a very nice website with (I think) Welsh bands on it. Why don't you update that?

I listen to music to try and avoid boredom, but sometimes the music is as boring as everything else. Today I have been thinking about Careless Talk Costs Lives and wondering whether the Duke will be in it.

Make a dinosaur out of Blu Tak. First you must scour the place for BluTak, removing it from the posters and looking in all the odd places thst BluTak can be (sides of chairs, desk legs, ceiling fans, behind the ears, and particularly try the areas where xmas decorations have previously been; this is also good for drawing pins). Then, fashion your dinosaur, perhaps try a brontosaurus to begin with, moving onward to stegosaurus, minding those tricky back plates, maybe a pterodactyl if you're feeling adventurous. Of course, should you attempt a T Rex, try to use a knife like object for the teeth. They must be sharp! When this is done you can re enact Walking with Dinosaurs. If you cannot find any BluTak then I am afraid you must simply go for a wander around the office and re enact Walking with Breasts.

I clean the photocopying screen - you wouldn't believe how dirty it gets.

I think I am going to lock myself in the loos and cry!

I'm glad I don't take milk my coffee. I am now currently confused about the FTSE 100 list. Who ARE half these companies? I bet I will probably end up working for them at this rate. However it's stimulating my BRANE. I have just had to explain to someone what a Border Inspection Post is. Well, it is a post... where things get expected... on the BORDER... c: \duh. I am going to make COFFEE now, COFFEE helps a lot. I am going to follow HBOS Mark, because I know people who work for them. Um.

And Sainsburys. And Vodafone. And Tesco. How come the Royal Bank of Scotland is still there? I shall take this to the other thread, sorry.

I take it that no one else has bought the Charley Patton box set, then.

I go for a soulful walk around the building. Or just sit and rest my eyes for a bit. Eat busicuits. I work alone, so I can get away with a bit of slacking.
