What do you guys do with yourselves when you’re terminally bored?
Work is slow right now, I work at a university as a department web specialist, but it’s intersession and everybody but myself and a student worker is gone probably until the first of June, so that’s not helping.
I’ve got a million and one things I could probably work on, especially at home. I have a half finished website overhaul for myself, a project/practice one to build as a demo, shirt designs I need to make and then output to glitter and rhinestones or some other shiny heat applied substance and all kinds of not yet finished art, but I’m still…bored. This isn’t a whine, particularly, but could maybe be called a mild expression of frustration.
How do y’all break out of it when you hit this state?

LOL, I don’t currently have a dog, and it’s not a voluntary situation. That might also be part of my problem.
I spend too much time on Facebook and YouTube when work is slow. Usually I can’t motivate myself to do much until things get busy again. lol
an Ipod always saved me when I was still working…..
4 things I'm looking for:
1. Mother Meerkat
2. production color Sitting Young Oriental dragons to be made in more colors besides VF, Brimstone would be awesome!
3. Female Griffin – Siamese with White
4. September Raffle Prize 2022 AHD Male GriffinMy problem is (like yours) I have a ton of things I could work on (a griffin and a horse I’m painting, 3 quilts I’ve started) but I usually don’t feel like doing those things and start a new project. I come on the forum and obsess over all the topics, I research things I’ve always wondered (ex:Why is New York known for their bagels? Which vitamins can you get from eating which fruits/vegetables? ) and I get on Pinterest and day dream about having my own home with a garden and how I’ll decorate and what rooms I’ll paint what color (etc. etc.) or read a book if I can. I work in the medical field now so sometimes I bring anatomy books to review and read more in depth.
I’m a big fan of zoning out to mindless games (Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook… haven’t checked in a while but Zuma was also fun, may still be on Facebook – free to play)
I’ve also been toying with “Zendoodle” things… and I bought the grown ups coloring book everyone made a fuss over a lil while ago… I bought the Enchanted Forest one, my mom has the Secret Garden one, they’re quite fun… very pretty!
I also enjoy Word Searches and Sudoku books 🙂 or maybe just good book to read…
I keep myself busy with tons of projects, but I sometimes just wanna do something simple to pass the time
I am usually online, either reading articles on health and nutrition or watching documentaries or videos on youtube or looking up cute or funny pics articles or videos of animals and nature. I sometimes check games on my phone too. One relaxing on I like is an app called Flutter with butterflies.
Looking for rainbow or pink & teal grab bags!
If I’m stuck at my desk during a slow period, I like to read books and short stories on pdf. I find all of them online. If you have a preferred genre, you can sometimes find sites with good collections of books with that genre or theme.
