Would you rather be extremely busy or terribly bored? |
|
Me: extremely busy. Boredom is a killer.

5. As much as I hate being busy and always wish I could just stop |
|
I still think it is preferable over extreme boredom.

4. I cannot imagine being bored. |
|
I had a job once where I was really bored, but I just got addicted to internet bulletin boards and that pretty much took care of things.
I'd rather be busy which is probably why I overextend myself routinely. You too I presume? ;)

9. Well right now I'm having the opposite problem |
|
and it's quite strange to me. I'm not used to boredom. I have ended up with too much day and not enough to do. We've already played two board games, watched a Harry Potter DVD, mopped the kitchen, gone grocery shopping and taken a nap.
Boredom sucks. And the weather has been horrible, with another storm on its way now.
Ah well. There are worse things.

6. I don't like being busy... |
|
..but it makes the day go faster. I don't get bored like others I know, who seem to need to go places and do things elsewhere. I could go for weeks without doing anything, as long as I had some books and a connected computer.

10. Boredom is a foreign concept to me. |
|
I'd like to experience it at least once, I guess. ;) But I'd immediately fill the time with something to read, something to write, something to dream about ... so, I guess it's hopeless....

12. I have an infinite threshold of boredom. |
|
Roots could grow out of my ass into the couch and I wouldn't notice, as long as I have a working internet connection and DU.

18. I do - started one on cell phones and their usage and |
|
it got a couple of hits and sunk
started some others - they might get 1-10 hits and then they are gone
yours now - they have 25 + hits in the first minute

Oh yes, Boredom has been common thing for me lately. So bored sometimes I could smash my head with a brick to release the frustration from the boredom.

I can't bear being bored - in certain situations, anyway, like meetings.

25. Boredom is killing me right now |

I don't even want to do the few things I have to do, it's so slow here at work. Give me mind numbingly busy days anytime!
