Message: I'm so happy to know I'm not the only one who is bored to tears everyday at work. If this keeps up much longer, my brain is going to melt. I am often finished with all of my work before lunchtime and when I ask for something to do they tell me there is nothing. Because of this, I started surfing the internet, all news websites, by the way, and actually got in trouble for it! So they'd rather I sit there and twiddle my thumbs for 8 hrs everyday rather than read anything on CNN.com. Heaven forbid I expand my horizons while I'm at work. We wouldn't want any actual thought going on, would we? That could be dangerous. It's a long, long commute for me, they pay me next to nothing with no benefits, and I'm not learning anything. What the heck is the point? What am I doing this for?
