    Level 4 - only way to relieve boredoom is to pack an uzi to work and wait for the first person to ask if you have done your TPS report.

      Suggestions please ?
      This is what Excel spreadsheets are for.

      Plot your yearly accounts, both personal and business, mortgage paid off, any kind of financial masterpiece which will (a) remind you of why you are at work, and (b) keep you busy and consumed for a good ocuple of hours!

        24 days to go, can't get any work done.
        Phew ! Just pulled back to level 2 when I noticed it was nearly lunchtime.

        Countdown fever is good, put a chart on the wall for all to see and pee off your soon to be former colleagues. Also nobody will notice a missing 24 days of IT contract work.

              Relieve the boredom by having a pointless circular argument with one of the members. Remember to abuse them when you can't be bothered. I suggest you start in the basement where

              SASguru the random insult, self abuse, and gay affairs desk
              The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

              But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                  I once toyed with the idea of creating a "Salary Counter", a little gadget (or small PC program lurking in the taskbar) that you could configure with your hourly rate and would then quietly tick up the £'s.

                  At least then, when you're bored, you could sit and watch the counter and think of the money rolling in...

                    Also level 2 ! Don't worry I'm back to normal levels of boredom now and only 2.75 hours to go today.
