It's 3:04 pm and I am currently sat at my desk in work willing the time to pass. I have been here since 8.15 am and cannot leave for another 116 minutes. Or 6,960 seconds. I have been rosta-ed onto possibly the most boring job you can have in this office and have exhausted pretty much every website I can think of to look at. Funniest part of this though is that I do the rota's each week - I am solely to blame for my extreme boredom today! I have planned six holidays, checked out literally dozens of laptops, chosen several pairs of Laboutin shoes that I might wear to Jenn's wedding. I have spent so many hours staring at my privacy bored that I could tell you exactly where everything is to the nearest millimetre.
I like privacy boards, they tell you alot about a person I think. I share my desk, so I like somewhat like a schizophrenic. On my little section though I have a magazine picture of Shane Williams (Wales and Ospreys winger) (http://www.sporting-heroes.net/rugby-heroes/displayhero.asp?HeroID=2143 - not a good picture though), a postcard of the stained glass window in the Forest of Dean (http://www.forestofdean-sculpture.org.uk/sculptures/current/cathedral/), a note from a much missed colleague, and a photo of my friends Carly, Caz, Carl, Jenn and Luce. Ooh and also a specially made picture of me and Sean Bean on our wedding day! I don't know what that says about me, other than that on my work notice board I have absolutely nothing to do with work on it! I think if they are covered in stuff it tends to suggest you like your creature comforts to soften the fact that you're at work, or that you've been there so long you've resigned yourself to a life there and may as well make it a bit nicer. Nothing on a board I reckon means you're refusing to make yourself comfortable and encourage you to move on. Either that, or you're a dull person. If I've now offended people, I am sorry.
So it's now 3.30pm and I've wasted 26 minutes writing about privacy boards....
