They're not sensible suggestions if they're not practical.

Oh hush.

It's Judge RInder. My wife actually knows him.

Surprising he did that show, he's a barrister who has done numerous high profile cases; Iraqi detainees amongst others.

Aah yes getting him confused with that actor bloke from Beverley Hills Cop

[perplexed]

Caught Judge Reinhold while <ahem>working from home</ahem> on Monday, Britain's answer to Judge Judy, he's as camp as a row of tents and the show is compulsive viewing

Right, 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.

Sounds 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

Go 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)

I had a contract like that once, and used to do the coffee runs. They even made me a badge saying 'Tea Bitch'.

2 days bored then, 3 days watching Jeremy Kyle and getting paid for it.

Perfect gig that aint it? WFH and no actual work to do.

I like the way they try and make it out like they always fighting.

The British version would involve queuing, lots of "excuse me, pardon me" and a gavel.
No one would be asked to "back yo junk up outta ma face b##ch.".
