boredum

this is the third day at work that i am out of my mind bored! 8 hours never seemed so long until this week. there really is nothing to do in the committee office and everyone is on pause until next wednesday when we have the go-ahead to pack of the main office.

in eight hours, there are only so many blog posts and newspaper articles one can read. i can only what youtube videos for so long before i feel my brain start to atrophy. i can't really talk on the phone cause 1) i work in a section of a larger room with other co-workers and i don't want them to hear my convo and 2) everyone i know is themselves at work!

i have had time to get some of my volunteer work done, but that does not take 8 hours to complete. i just feel like i could be doing something more productive with my time like, start packing up my apt or going to the gym. i learned during my first "real" job that you are not expected to work for 8 hours in the day. you're simply expected to be available for those hours. being available is messing with the psyche.

then i feel guilty if i were to study for my final or apply for jobs. i'm on the public's dollar yet i'm doing personal stuff. i'm somewhat conflicted because i'm getting paid to do my personal business. that is somewhat dishonest. (yes i am that good!) trust that DC has enough issues so that no one working for the gov't can even spare an hour for lunch! but here i am blogging during work hours! go figure.

well i must go back to doing nothing
