The Boredom
« on: August 23, 2005, 12:57:59 pm »
Here's a question for all out there (well maybe two)

As much as I enjoy working for myself and the freedom it brings I do find myself getting quite bored working on my own most of the time.

What do you all do to try and escape the monotony? (Myself I would not be without my phone with radio built in)

And if like me you just feel like skiving off what do you prefer to do?

Just a thought

Overcomming the monotonous boredom of window cleaning presents a challenge in itself.

Luckily I work with Wor Lass, but we honestly don't see much of each other while working.  She listens to a radio at times and now and again I'll get a talking book from the library.

I suppose you just get used to it.

Funnily enough, I prefer working on my own.  I have plenty of entertainment just sifting through the stuff that goes on in my head  ;D
