Robin Of House Hill Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I turn on CNN, listen to conservative panel members, and become enraged. Rage makes boredom disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Most often, I will sit the boredom and really experience it, let my mind wander wherever it might decide to go. I've found that to be incredibly useful, and intellectually and emotionally rewarding. I'm a better, more thoughtful writer and editor for it.

Larry of the Lawn Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Thinking of that apocalyptic thread (one of like seven of those going on anyway) it would actually be kind of awesome and hilarious to just be bored through the last 8.5 minutes on Earth. nothing, u?

Arch-MaesterPhilip Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 If it all possible I sleep, or I just let my mind wander. I try to avoid deep thought because usually it usually drifts towards self-loathing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The body attached to the butt can always fill a hole. *chorus sings* “INNUENDO!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was an IFR controller, got hired by Transport Canada back in 1993, when I was 19, completed my initial training in 94, and did 2 years @ Winnipeg Control Center managing some pretty boring airspace. I'd put in for a transfer to Gander to do some oceanic airspace stuff, when I got out for a better business opportunity. Boredom busting: - practice BJJ on the mats with a dummy if I can't find a partner, do some reading - better yet some writing. - Practice some tunes on one of my sets of bagpipes or my electronic chanters. - practice some Iaido, kenjutsu, or tameshigiri if i have some mats on hand. Practice some Kendo kata and techniques or work on my equipment and shinai - fly online in one of the flight simulators out there. - play with and train our new cat.

The Prince of Newcastle Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 On saturday I went to see some friends and have a smoke with them, so I didnt take the car. I had to get the train home. Following the 45 minute train ride, I had a 30 minute walk. I forgot my headphones. After having an anxiety attack for about 3 hours, I left my friends house and had to entertain my self on the way home. I thought about the gym. for 90 minutes. Letting my injured hip/groin recover, improving my lifts and generally thought about how much of a beast I could be if I stopped drinking. If I was in the house alone, I would either play on one of the Souls games or read a book. I'd watch a boxset but I usually watch them with my S/O so it would be mean to skip ahead. Anyway, never forget your headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
