I'm sorry I have no advice for you Micki, but I can sympathize a little.
I cannot stand being bored at work--I hate it!!! I work in a restaurant, and when I'm not busy I am miserable. I had a job at a pre-school, doing after school care, and I hated it because it was so boring!!! I had to get back into a fast paced environment!! My husband thinks I'm nuts--he works in sales, and sits around all day--I have to be doing something.

We're busy now because of football season, but around Feb/March is our slow time, and I hate it!!!!!
