I am pretty much never bored. I have 3 kids that keep me busy. When they are in bed, I try to get everything else done that I needed to when they were awake.

Well I am at work and I am just trying to find stuff to do, working for the state (of california), they limit the amount of thinigs I can do on my computer. I do IT help desk, I monitor the email inbox right now and it has been kinda slow, I just finished homework for one of my classes.

Anyway, I usually play around with Photoshop or Illustrator. Sometimes I browse the web, but playing around in Illustrator makes customers think I'm designing something so I don't get the "omg he's lazy" look.

Internet Backgammon if I have to stick around for a meeting or something. Otherwise if I have no work to do I go home.

I'm trying to evolve.

iTunes, AddictingGames.com, surf, etc. But I'm usually doing these things in addition to my work. Right now I have Dameware, Active Directory manager, a command prompt, Clarify, Outlook, Firefox, and Windows Explorer all running. Generally I have two or more Dameware windows open and connected to client PCs.

I work at home and yes, it's very easy to get bored. I fill in the time with studies and reading mostly.

If you can lean, you can clean.



Well, my old Starbucks was like that. Here in Tallahassee though, everyone is so chill that we just stand around and shoot the shit when there's no customers. We still get stuff done, though. Gah, I love Tallahasse.

Shut your mouth and think it out.

I used to take a lot of dumps. I also listened to a fair amount of pod casts.
