You know you're bored at work if...

web-toedchloe by web-toedchloe · Aug 11, 2004 · 228 views · Journal

You've checked your web-based e-mail so often you're excited to get new junk mail.
You find yourself wondering, "If I just left, would anyone notice?"
You sit at your desk to think of reasons for aimlessly walking around the building.
You count the paper clips in your drawer, in your neighbors drawer, and in the whole office.
You google so many stupid things that you've always wondered, it's as if you know everything you've ever wanted to know and aren't any smarter.

Keep it going.

You think about actually filing the stuff in the "to be filed" folder instead of waiting for someone else to do it.

....then you start to think of every other incident that has happened to you at work while filling out your report that you feel the need to fill out a psychiatric form instead and wonder if anyone will visit

.. you don't only CONSIDER it, but you actually buy a liquor cabinet that fits snugly under your desk, and you stock it with airplane shots for good times, to make the day go by faster

... then you tell your friends you're drinking your morning coffee with a shot of Kahlua in it
