So Bored

I really think this job is killing me. I KNOW it is a great place to work, and it's not as if I am working on the railroads or harvesting organs in a back alley or anything, but it a is a dreadfully dull job. I don't even know what I am doing half them time, and the other half of the time I am trying to pretend I am busy, and saying things about 'feeding back' and 'aspirational learning.' And, while doing all this I am having to deal with my co-worker, all of whom seem to lack any sense of irony.

It is like working in Ohio, minus the Easy Cheese.

Today I have been in 2 meetings. Both of them about the exact same things and both of them almost making me bored to tears: tears of BLOOD!

How do I get through it? By drawing giant pictures of hungry fish eating bald men on my notepad, making frequent trips to the bakery nearby and drinking cup after cup of tea, so that then at least I have an excuse to go to the bathroom.

I am not a particularly ambitious person (obviously), but at some point in my life- ideally before I turn 30 (which is kind of soon)- I would love a job that does not involve spreadsheets, minute-taking, talking about Activa yogurt and having to listen to women at work complain about how many biscuits/cakes/candy they have eaten (I know, pipe dreams).

The blessing (and the curse) of this job is that it allows me constant and fast access to the internet, where I can find gems like the following. www.americansweets.co.uk. Brilliant!
