What to do, to do, to do...?

What do you do when you don't know what to do? What do you do when you come in to work and have all of your work done in the first 90 minutes of your shift? Blog? Facebook? Other random web searching?

When you've spent a little while with not a lot going on, how do you get motivated to do something when it finally comes across your desk 2 hours after you finished the last thing?

I wasn't overly worried until another random Google Quest into the void produced this little tidbit,

“Boredom causes raised blood pressure, narrowing of the arteries and raised cholesterol,” says Dr. Sandi Mann, author of Hiding What We Feel, Faking What We Don’t.

Boredom doesn’t just show up in the daily lives of customer service reps who might have to mouth the same words fifty times a day. Workers with not enough to do or doing a job that’s not challenging may also find themselves twiddling their thumbs. Or because you’re highly skilled, you can be vulnerable to boredom since you can do your job with little effort once you’ve perfected your skills, says Dyer-Smith.

So now what? I'm overweight from sitting on my cubicle-bound buttocks all day with my only exercise coming from walking to the printer and/or cafeteria, I'm bored 'cause I've been doing this job so long I'm showing people with 10+ years seniority how to do the job, and now I'm stressed/worried that being bored is going to kill me....ARRRGGGGHHHH!!!

Time for a mindless distraction so I can regain some composure:

Ahhhh...much better. Back to non-work now.

Hope I don't cack before 3pm.
