For those of you who work in an office...

...how the HELL do you manage? I'm on my second day out of two and I'm going frigging crazy from sitting still having nothing to do. Everybody else are on a conference so I can't even get some additional things to do... so I sit and wait for the fax to spit out sn order or the phone to ring and that's it! neutral pissed

I would be busy if I was more in tune with the routines and stuff to do, but I'd never enjoy it regardless, I'd get depressed again in a jiffy. shake

I work in an office. Sometimes it's so boring I want to cry. I surf the internet to pass the time and find good how-to craft sites and stuff to make; I catch up with all my emails and long-lost pals; I read a good book; I make a to-do list for the week; I draw on post-it notes; I write in my blog; I make coffee. And still this only takes up like, 2 hours out of my shift.

But hey, it could be worse.

I work in an office that is pretty casual and its a total boys club Im 1 of 3 girls that work in the office, 1 is kinda butch and the other almost has a unibrow and the boys are still getting used to having us around but they've realized Im more dirty minded than them!
All in all it makes for interesting work days lol
The officers keep me busy so sometimes I dont have time to think about what work needs to be done later.
