Excruciating Boredom

[sdwa]

Do you ever have days when you are so bored, you want to climb the nearest water tower, throw yourself off a ferry, take up hang-gliding, tour a hospital emergency room, dangle by a rope from a 12-story building, run away from home, jump on the next airplane no matter where it’s going, try to swim across a five mile lake, put ice cubes in your underwear, run naked and screaming down the street, etc.? My epitaph will read, “Died of Boredom.” I don’t know what to do with myself, because nothing I normally do interests me even remotely. It’s like being buried alive in cotton wool.

What do you DO when you feel like this?

I get that a lot, especially when I’m “slow” at work (i.e., no emergencies that need me to work around the clock). I try to find something to focus on, usually computer related. I write (you’d be amazed at the stories you get and you just start typing), I blog, check the forums, walk the dog, teach her a new trick. Eat. I eat a lot more than I should when I’m bored.

Video games are good, too. I’ve invaded Afghanistan more times in the past week than all Western powers combined. (Medal of Honor).
