They're not sensible suggestions if they're not practical.Originally posted by GillsMan View PostRight, well all the sensible suggestions are met with reasons why you can't do them. Christ, what advice do you want from us? Get a new gig. There, that's your answer to overcoming boredom.

Well that call just came an hour ago. Benched from the22ndOriginally posted by Eirikur View PostSounds ideal, but it isn't. Not feeling happy about it and every time the person who calls herself my manager calls I think it's to say they are going to ditch the contract. Just not good for my nerves

I had a contract like that once, and used to do the coffee runs. They even made me a badge saying 'Tea Bitch'.Originally posted by Tasslehoff View PostGo Loo as many times as you can without drawing to much heat from Permies (around 5 times per day is the sweet spot)
Build up your Caffeine tolerance so you can have up to a dozen brews per day.
Go for a walk on your lunch. Even if it's as boring as a circuit of the business park (fml)
