I wish i could say i worked from home too, i guess i say that i can work from home when im on the dole!
 
If I'm bored at work then I tend and go and go and talk to people (about work things) ... for instance I was bored yesterday afternoon so went and spoke to one of the Projects guys about some technical issues he was having and also with the person who reviews solutions from a resources/costs point of view (I look at things from a technical point of view) about the meeting we had earlier in the week.

(I was bored due the email system being down which meant the things I was supposed to be working on hadn't come through)

I try and not work from home too much as I find the lack of face-to-face interaction very boring (I don't watch TV/DVDs when I'm working from home as if I do watch something I will always get a phone call within 5mins).

We've had similar threads before and I'm amazed how many people get the time to be bored. I've been working for nearly 39 years and never had time to be bored in all the jobs I've done and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Automating tasks (via coding/model building) & multitasking often allows you to do more work than you are assigned & well above the average for the team (while still having wasted time bored) - it also depends on the nature of the work (If I kick off 17 large queries I can't really do anything until they are finished).

Besides, it's about working smart not hard.
 
I usually sit on my hands for half an hour then go round touching up women, because it feels like someone else is doing it.

It really isn't all you think it is. I work with people all across the country, most of which work in an office, which means I'm the odd one out. No work social life, no one to moan at, requires a lot of self-discipline and you're required to almost entirely motivate yourself.

Can be quite tough.

Friday's are cool though. As of 2pm I am done. No commute, no hanging on for some arbitrary finishing time. Done.

I know, both me and my daughter have been through all the official tests but you have just proved you can do it by the post I quoted. Yes there are a couple of things in there but they look like typing mistakes.

Dyslexia doesn't exist. Your and your daughter are just stupid and they made up a fake test to make you feel better about yourself.

(This is the topic that people are ***** to each other for no reason, right?)
 
Usually just OCuK and DakkaDakka. There is also some Miniature wargame sites that I look at if I'm tempted to impulse buy some models.
