- Get a new gig.
- Tell Da Management you're bored and will leave unless they give you something hard and challenging to do.
- Start an affair with a colleague.
- See how much self abuse you can get away with in the loo before someone says something.
- Write articles for the trade press for fame and glory.
- Write articles for the "Take a Break" and "Chat" type magazines for money.
- See if you can find another gig that you can fulfil on-line and do from your desk while charging CurrentClientCo.
- Read The Register - it looks like research.
- Install that text browser (Lynx, isn't it?) and read whatever you want online!
- Search for "Things to do when bored" in Google and follow the links (some are utter genius).
- Print off huge .PDFs at work to take home. Start with the PCG Guide to Freelancing as practice. (My record is 1200 pages in a day in an open plan office!)
- Read a text copy of The Jargon File (hey, you're bored, you find it).
- Research the Gutenburg Project and find some books to read.
- See how many trashy paperbacks you can read in a week while sat on the loo.
- Become the tea & coffee monitor. Enjoy the kitchen.
- Become the stationery monitor. Enjoy the POWER.
Oh daffodils. I'm far too good at this.Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

Stop drinking coffee.
Why don't civil servants look out of the window in the morning?
