What do you do at work when you are bored
Ok. So every morning I wake to go to work to just sit around and work on my laptop. Working at a community college (in the US) with students, I have noticed that students would rather spend their time hanging outside to enjoy the nice California weather.
So my position requires me to put on study skills workshop for students and assist professors with their classes. Last month I scheduled about 5 workshops but no one showed up. Because of this, I spend my time on my laptop and just browse the internet. I never thought I would get tired of browsing the internet but after browsing the internet (mainly QL, facebook, and CNN) for 5 hours a day, I get tired and frankly very annoyed. I feel they should pay me to stay at home because I really do not do any thing productive(not by choice)
Well I guess I don't have to worry much about being bored anymore since tomorrow is my last day at work. Looking forward to moving to Doha
So my question is, what do you do at work when you are bored out of your mind?
PS: I love QL. So much information and useful resources
i chat with my friends, either by messenger or phone. and the best of all here we got Qatarliving.com
Everybody is right everybody is wrong, it depend where you stand
Some people like my old boss, use morning wood.

QL can be addictive. Plus its only 1:27pm in California so I have the rest of my day to be on QL after I get home even though I should really be packing
DaRu?? and why am i supposed to be hanged for cali not signing in???
cali..you better sign gal. otherwise i will hang you!
*** well. all QL knows i cannot hang even a fly :( ***
Are you ready to go yet? did you pack your purse? like our "gals in black" do every day? They supposed to finish work at 2:15.. around 2:07 they are fully prepared for going home, standing up keeping their purses ready on their desks.. at 2:14,5 it’s useless to call for any of them.. gone with the wind…
only rustle of their abayas and smell of their perfume...
All i need to do now is pack my laptop and i'll be ready to go........
let me show you a shortcut see that window open it and jump out and you are out of your working place for good.
but dont forget to login in the morning or i will hang QS and Flan both for that.

I figured out, it was channel 274, Rotana Nilesat.. wow!! I never knew I had 274 channels..I thought i have this the only one... and why the h** it's always on the same channel??
wait, lemme see, maybe i even have 275-th one?
I'll keep that in mind when I get to doha. lol
just come sit btwn me and flanostu and you will enjoy life in doha
[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
well.. you never know Alexa...everything is possible..
Well the motivational speech would actually work if they showed up at all........I guess I gotta give it to them when they are outside enjoying the weather. lol
yes Alexa.. pretty much familiar! my laptop is familiar and QL interface looks very much familiar!.. other than that... wait .. let me check it...
caliafrica, it was Alice Cooper on TV , i heard him singing and then i took a look.. and flanostu is obsessed with Alice... i think he identifies Alice with himself...:)
write a long motivational speach so you can lecture them on how skipping class will not get them anywhere. when do you move to doha?
Maybe I'll catch you on tv next time

caliafrica/alexa, i was on tv!
i missed it, i went through every channel. i'm sure it'll turn up on youtube. cheers anyway!
What are you watching
khalas.. he is gone..
i don't know which channel.. wallah, have no idea.. there is always the same channel on my TV.. i even don't know how to change it...lol... it's just by the chance i am sitting in this room.. i never watch TV anyway...lol..
but wait... they speak some weird language.. lol. eh??
am I at MY home at all???
I'm starting my count down
flanostu ...
ah ... you still have alot to learn. Lol.
novi...only 4 months.
I guess I am on QL too much. Philosophizing gets boring sometimes. LOl
qs what channel??????????????
what make you think i am not serious? how long you been in Doha?
it seems Singapore was our past home for both of us. Although for me it was 7 yrs ago.
I met a friend who came from Singapore, he complained that he is bored at work. Nothing to do ... Lol.
Alice Cooper is on TV!! giving the interview..singing..
You say you are philosopher.. hhmm.. how philosophers can ever get bored?? They don’t need any materialistic matters to get busy with.. just get your mind busy with your thoughts, reflection, philosophies… i don't claim to be a philisopher, but that's what i do pretty often, and i really never feel bored or lonely or whatever...
are you serious novi?
this is worse than singapore, everyone complained they worked long hours....yet they always took 2-3hr lunches!
Too bad I don't drink coffee Flonatsu.........well I guess my love for food will make up for it
lol flanostu. And soon in September they will never turn up at work at all.
caliafrica.. i never bored at work.. or maybe only once in a blue moon...I am always equally split my time between my duties, then QL, then my personal matters, then i help my friends a lot, with gathering info or even preparing some papers or documents.. i love "off job" stuff while i am at the office, something not related to my work..i do it even with more enthusiasm...
.. it doens't mean i leave my duties behind though...:)
wait till you see how some people work in doha. sit around eating, drinking coffee, chatting and then leave work early.
I'll be moving to Doha soon for work. Different type of work environment so I highly doubt that I'll have as much down time as I have at my soon to be ex-job.....
Hello there...
first since you r going to move to Doha welcome :)
second your question was wat do u do at work in you r bored so u mean what to do while you r at work and you get bored?
well most of the times i dont have time to get bored at work its always busy :) depends on your type of work.... if it includes too much internet and computer try playing sudoku :) or reading a book...
Good luck
and you are wondering why so much people online on QL during the day? Even now there are 2000 plus people reading this site.
sorry ... cant help you... DaRuDe said i am jobless mum ... at least you got to see the light in the end of your tunnel. Tomorrow your last day at work ... where are you going and what are you going to do nxt?
all the best :-)
