Well, it’s time for boredom to be banished with the help of this weeks site. The Bored List is a list of things to do when you’re bored in the office. Start by inhaling deeply and then try and make a noise for as long as you can preferably ending on an amusing note. This could work well if you’re on the factory floor but not so well in a library.

Pretending you’re a robot has a further 1-3 minutes amusement potential – adding 'zzzzzt' sounds with each motion for best effect. Again, location is key. If you’re in a busy office that’s fine, but think twice if you’re an undertaker on the job.

Keep boredom from biting by “Picking up a dog so it can see things from your point of view” with a whole new perspective – seeing tops of counters, tops of shelves, etc. This approach requires preperation and the advance procurement of a friendly dog, although potentially it could be any animal – except for a giraffe.
