    Stop drinking coffee.

    Why don't civil servants look out of the window in the morning?

    • Get a new gig.
    • Tell Da Management you're bored and will leave unless they give you something hard and challenging to do.
    • Start an affair with a colleague.
    • See how much self abuse you can get away with in the loo before someone says something.
    • Write articles for the trade press for fame and glory.
    • Write articles for the "Take a Break" and "Chat" type magazines for money.
    • See if you can find another gig that you can fulfil on-line and do from your desk while charging CurrentClientCo.
    • Read The Register - it looks like research.
    • Install that text browser (Lynx, isn't it?) and read whatever you want online!
    • Search for "Things to do when bored" in Google and follow the links (some are utter genius).
    • Print off huge .PDFs at work to take home. Start with the PCG Guide to Freelancing as practice. (My record is 1200 pages in a day in an open plan office!)
    • Read a text copy of The Jargon File (hey, you're bored, you find it).
    • Research the Gutenburg Project and find some books to read.
    • See how many trashy paperbacks you can read in a week while sat on the loo.
    • Become the tea & coffee monitor. Enjoy the kitchen.
    • Become the stationery monitor. Enjoy the POWER.


    Oh daffodils. I'm far too good at this.
