I'm bored. I am so bored. Bored, bored, bored.
I am at work. Have been all night. I have run out of useful things to do, even mostly run out of unuseful things to do. Ten hours is a long shift when the phones aren't ringing. No one having emergencies this weekend, I guess. Everyone's out of town being drunk and stupid, so they're having emergencies out of town. Either that or the lines are down again.
I have no idea why I'm posting this, I just need something to do.
And mine is an evil laugh!

I too am very bored. I've come home for lunch because the snakes are hiding (it's too cold today) and should be spending the next hour working but am feeling very unmotivated!

Oh good! We can be unmotivated together! 
So tell me, what are two gorgeous, exciting, intelligent ladies such as ourselves doing having so many dull moments in our lives? Doesn't seem right.

Hello bored people!
May I be one of you? I am currently the only one in my corridor at the uni hall of residence. Everyone else has gone home since they all live about 1/2 an hour away and own cars.
It's freakishly quiet and I can't really go anywhere because of the bank holiday and the fact that everyone I know is somewhere that's else.
I may just go and take a really long shower since it's unlikely I'll get yelled at for using all the hot water.

Have fun! We had uni-sex shower rooms at my Uni. Most offputting!
I'll have to have a nice hot shower tonight as I hope to be pooed on my many a snake this afternoon (it's their way of showing affection!)
Wish me luck folks! So far over the last 8 months I've spotted 17. I need at least 30 to do proper statistics.
But sorry, you were complaining about being bored and me rabbiting on about my dissertation won't help matters!

Of course you can be one of us! If you're bored, I mean, you really already are one of the bored people.
Man, I can't wait to get home and take a hot shower.

See... It's the ultimate, I'm bored, relaxation technique.
I love it when there's no queue for the bathroom. At home there's always a queue, you have to announce your intention to take a shower about 6 hours in advance and then barter for bathroom time. Also whenever the pressure is low the shower switches to cold with no warning. Usually just when you put the shampoo on your head.
So PhoenixRose... What aren't you doing?

Crap! Summer!
That sounds like a very un-fun shower. I am fortunate enough to live in a house with four bathrooms, so there's no waiting. Also, we have some new-fangled heat on demand water heating system that basically means the hot water never runs out which is the shiniest of shiny. Of course, if I stay in there as long as I want, I run the bill up 
As for what I'm not doing... Anything useful, really. My mind is spinning with unpleasant thoughts as to why I'm alone so much of the time, and I really truly and literally have nothing better to do than watch the board for responses. I'm not supposed to leave my desk for long amounts of time, and it wouldn't make a difference if I did because I certainly can't leave the building for another 20 minutes or so, and the rest of it is just like my desk, only without internet. It's an easy job, but damn is it boring sometimes!
So what aren't you doing?

I feel your boredom.
It's times like these that I wish I was part-cyborg so I could shut off my circuts and go into sleep mode. Or maybe close my eyes and have little screens that either played Firefly episodes or video games.
Stupid science falling so far behind science fiction.
One day.
One plan.
One army of Browncoats.
On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.

That's the million dollar question.... There's nothing i'm supposed to be doing which is a highly unnatural state for me. The things on my to-do-list all require places to be open on a bank holiday and for me to have transport... not things that are happening any time soon.
Technically I can go home for the summer soon but according to my siblings, home is not a place I want to be right now. At least, not until I can sort my summer job so I'm not hanging around the house.
In the words of my brother...
"Leave it as long as you can before you come home. Once you get back you'll be seeing an awful lot of your room, it's the only place that's calm."
Not exactly a ringing endorsement. So yeah, I'm here and bored because the alternative is apparently much worse.
