Boredom thread

Swazzle · August 2012

Hi. Where is everyone/what are you doing? Work is pretty dead today & I'm bored.

melmac86 · August 2012

I'm working from home today. Had to take Murphy to the vet this morning, because he's been sneezing like crazy and his eyes started watering yesterday. Luckily it's just a viral cold. The vet said if he has other symptoms like coughing, drainage that I can come back and pick up some antibiotics. The only good thing about him not feeling well is he's be extra cuddly lately

I'm about to hit the job boards. Ugh.

Peaseblossom55 · August 2012

I'm at work. I have stuff to do I just don't feel like doing any of it, really. I finally made a doctor's appointment for tomorrow after work, about the whole Lactose Intolerance stuff, although I don't think there is really going to be anything that can be done. I would at least like to confirm that is what's going on here.

Smooch711 · August 2012

Bored as well at work. Tuesdays seem to be the slowest. I shouldn't complain, as I am getting paid to post on wedding forums!

I'm trying to make up a to-do list for the wedding. So many little things. How are your plans for your wedding, rdr?

Hit them with your best shot, why don't you hit them with your best shoooot?!

Lame joke day. I really hate that song and now it's stuck in my head. Way to go peek. You could make it fun and have a drink of something delicious and buzz-inducing each time you compelete an application! Who cares if it's still the AM. 5 o'clock somewhere...

thejucheidea · August 2012

I'm pretty bored and don't really want to be at work, but I have good patients today, so it's all good. I'm also working treatment room with my fave coworker, so yeaaaaahhh~~~!!!

dewingedpixie · August 2012

Work is quiet. I'm going to be joining Peekaboo on the hunt tonight though. That is after homework and packing.

mookow86 · August 2012

Hey ladies! I'm bored at work as well, procrastinating/avoiding stuff. I'm daydreaming about the peach scones I'm going to make tonight. H comes home tonight from his 17-day business trip, so I have a feeling this day is just going to keep draggingggg.

Peaseblossom55 · August 2012

Peach scones sound so delicious! Yay for being able to see H tonight moocow.

<div>I actually got a call back this morning on one I applied for yesterday. I should have done my research a little more carefully. It was a pyramid scheme. I declined the interview.</div>

Hummingbird125 · August 2012

THANK YOU for starting this thread. I'm bored too and kinda stressed. I haven't made a sale yet this month and I would really like to make one today since I'm off tomorrow. Anyways, tomorrow I took off work because I'm taking a 4 hour French Macaroon baking class in the city! I've never taken a cooking/baking class before and I am soooo excited, especially because the school where it's being held is awesome.

The whole day is going to be great: Going into the city early for a waxing appointment (okay, that part isn't great), then I'm meeting up with my ex-boss/coworker for lunch. I've only seen him twice since I stopped working at my old job. We were really close when I worked there, and I considered him one of my best friends. His wife just had a baby about a month ago, and I'm so excited to hear all about it, and to have a little time for us to catch up without being out in a crowd. Then, my class is from 1-5pm. THEN I'm meeting BF at SpIn for some ping-pong action. Can't wait.

You should have told them yes and brought them a lego pyramid to the interview to demonstrate your building skills. If nothing else you'd have a story for your kids.

motoLyn · August 2012

Going to throw my hat into the ring and tell you I'm bored as hell here at work. I'm already dreaming of the weekend. Which makes me a little sad.

Hummingbird125 · August 2012

Oh also, if you're all bored I could tell you about one of my best friends who was proposed to this past weekend, but burst into tears as her BF put the ring on her finger because she was really upset over something else at the time, and didn't want their engagement to happen that way, so he took off the ring, they pretended it never happened, and they haven't discussed it since then.

Yep.

Your 4 hour macaroon cooking class sounds amazing I'm so jealous. I have a weakness for french pastries.

I'm bored as well. didn't sleep well again last night, so I'm dragging a bit. about to eat some peach Chobani for a snack, my stomach is grumbling!

I signed up for some classes, so I need to call and make payment (you couldn't do it online for some reason) so I can start accessing the "Classroom" when it becomes available.... NEXT WEEK! I'm so excited!

motoLyn · August 2012

Coco! Yay for the start of the school year. Hope all goes well and you get access to the classroom. I love going to school I just didn't like taking tests. The only thing i have to look forward to is going home and prepping for a Asian spiced pork butt to go in the crock pot for dinner tomorrow. Maybe I'll take Maus and we'll go for a walk around the outdoor mall while Danish Man goes to his pool tournament.

[Deleted User] · August 2012

recipe for the Asian spiced pork butt? I have a super busy week next week so I'm planning on getting a lot of use out of my crockpot... that sounds wonderful.

Saturday: Picking up a new paddle board in the morning, this one was meant to use for stand up paddling surfing. Then taking my bestfriend out to dinner at a fabulous Italian place in Old Town Pasadena, where there is a delicious macaroon shop. Flygirlmeg maybe joining me for a morning stand up paddle session if she doesn't have to work! And if Meg comes out then we can go to the Viet/French cafe for brunch afterwards.

Sunday: I'm taking Maus to the local dog beach for a playdate with other Weimeraners. Then walking over to the downtown area and trying out this new place that serves poke! I miss poke so much ever since leaving Maui and I crave it b badly. Yay!

What about you RDR?
