Any advice?
I am very bored at work.
I am in the office with only one other person today and we are both of the ‘waiting to talk’ type when having a conversation i.e.- neither of us really listen to what the other is saying as what we have to say is far more interesting... (she is currently writing her Xmas cards).
I can’t get motivated to do anything work related and have had my morning allowance of two chocolate biscuits.
My internet usage is through the roof, I am awaiting the call from IT or HR, and the wonderful victorian south facing windows are only showing grey.
What can I do?
How do I relieve the pain?

Re: Any advice?
I am also very bored !!!! why not surf the net for holidays ( i do this all the time- I dont actually get to go on them most of the time but its fun anyway) or maybe search the oz website for furniture and mentally decorate your new oz home (it doesnt matter that you wont have this home for ages,thats not the point)
Other work colleagues here who are also bored seem to find websites where you can play games- they are quite fun- or simply stare into space and dream of your new life !!!!!!
Enjoy !!!!!

How about this: Pick up a clipboard, put some printed papers on it (anything will do. You've probably got a big pile of memos on your desk from IT or HR - they'll do). Don a long white coat (if you can get your hands on one). Wander around the office silently, watching people at work. Every now and then, look at your watch, harumph and write something down. Then move on to the next desk. Occasionally, look under someone's desk and shake your head before writing something else down. If anyone asks what you're up to, put your finger to your lips and shush them, before wandering off and testing the door handles are fitted tightly.

She accused me of trying to steal her Xmas cards.
We have been having an in-depth 'conversation' for the last 16 mins... she can be very intense.
