I am SO bored!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I have plenty of work to do, but I'm just so bored with my job that I'm really finding it hard to come up with the motivation to do any of it.

I have SO much to do at home, and I'd much rather be doing that than this, so does anybody have any ideas on how to motivate myself?

strike up a conversation with someone without getting fired. sorry I am no help! go to a game site or something.

I suffer from the same problem, which is the reason I'm on PT at work at present - but I'm on a break! I just had a two week vacation at home during which I worked in my garden and home most of the time, but I loved it and would really prefer it to where I am now.

That said, when I get desperate about pushing myself on work, I set a deadline that I cannot avoid without public humiliation. So, not a personal deadline, but things like emailing someone that I'll have something done by a certain day and time, or telling other members of a committee that I'm bringing a new proposal to the next meeting, or telling my boss that I'll have a full draft of something we are working on together to her the next day - that's the worst kind of firecracker I could put under my bloomers!

Thanks for the suggestions so far, but I guess I should explain that I'm the only person in the office. My boss is usually out of the office and that's it, only me. Me and my computer......and a bunch of irritating people who need electrical work done bothering me by calling. Actually, when my boss is here, I work because....well...because the boss is here. But as soon as he's gone....and no, I'm not going to suggest to him that he stay in the office more.

Oh Debbie, I know what you mean, I had a job like that once. I knitted a sweater.

I'll bet da Boss calls those folks his Customers!

What's the Poor Boss going to do when you split the joint to go MotorHoming?
Does he "know" about that plan??

Wow, I am in the exact same position as you. Thank God I have the dogs for company or else I'd go CooCoo!

You can answer a motor home'ish question for me. In my immediate area, there are TWO motor home associations, which I find to be a bit amazing. Do you and Terry belong to one? If so, what goes on at one? I will have to remember to get the exact name of them, but, it is an association of sorts..with a building, and a huge lot- where many people park their 'homes.

What gives, Debbie?

I am the same as you & Debby! Working alone, in a terrbile boring office. Without my dogs I would go absolutely nuts!
