Im really running out of things to do to keep myself busy now. The whole day I am working with my bf in his computer shop, and right now business is not going so well, maybe because its summer, people are really not into buying computers yet..Hopefully before classes starts, were expecting clients coming in..But right now, Im really bored..My bf doesnt even talk to me when were here in the shop, because he's always on his laptop, I know he's talking with our suppliers..but is that an excuse for us not to talk? Sometimes I feel that our day is a routine..I cant say anymore that were having a quality time together..=( Does anyone have suggestions for someone whos sooooo bored? thanks!

if you feel bored,just find something you like to do,you can go to the fitness room or you can get some books to read,in some way,life is a routine one,you can not keep excited all the day,so,you have to face the reality,found your own loved things.

What other hobbies or interests do you have? Are you an outdoor person? You could play sports, go to the beach, workout or simply go for a walk and enjoy the outdoors. Are you more of an indoor person? Well, the internet is definitely a good place if you are bored. MyLot, in particular will probably keep you occupied. But there are other sites which I am also quite involved with. Other social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook are interesting but I have been spending most of my time here on MyLot and also on Yuwie. At Yuwie, there is a fascinating business model which compensates the users based on all of the page views you have within a month. And not only your page views but also the page views of everyone in your network. If you are bored, you might want to check out Yuwie.com (see link in my profile), and the challenge would be to see how many you can get into your network. You can earn some really descent money there but it will take some time since those who are earning real money there have several thousand people in their network. But apart from the earning potential, there are a lot of cool people to meet from all over the world (just like here at MyLot!).

Well you have mylot, you can always spend some time here whenever you feel bored. As for me, I can enjoy dull moments at home. Either reading, playing my guitar and/or watching television or DVD movies. I also enjoy playing basketball, mornings or afternoons, with friends. I know that sitting at home while facing the computer could be a boring thing, you just have to look for something else to pass the time..

I find that I don't have enough hours in the day! I want to be on the computer so much between myLot and emails and playing some silly games or I want to read some of the many books or magazines that I have or I am spending time with my grandchildren. I am so glad that I retired almost 2 years ago and don't know where I found the time to do all the things that I do. I can't imagine being bored. Maybe it is time for you to find a new hobby or pasttime for yourself. Do you read? Maybe you need to take up painting or drawing or find something of interest to research on the computer, since you are in a computer shop. Have you thought of researching your family tree.........something I have wanted to do and started several years ago and never seem to get around to. I also moved into this apartment over a year ago and have yet to get the pictures on the walls. My friends were here a couple of weeks ago and one of them said to me that the walls were bare since in my last apartment the one wall was covered in pictures of my family. Maybe you should start planning your next several vacations? That can also be done on the computer. How about crafts of some kind? My sister makes jewelry from beads and wire or another sister used to crochet or knit, as did my mother, who made beautiful afghans. I have a friend who does quiilting and another who does cross stitch, which would be easy to do while you are with the bf in his shop..........most of this is not for me!!!!!! Scrapbooking seems to be a big thing now and is something I did years ago, but could care less about now. Maybe you should look into finding some snail pals and write while you are there with the bf. Whew.........anything seem of interest....lol!!??

I tend to sleep when I feel bored. Sometimes I bug my friends who are online and if none of them responds, I would go to mylot and think of good responses to help me earn more money here. Since you are in a computer shop, maybe you could play some computer games?

It really an unhappy thing.But take it easy.We all may face this kind of problems. You said you know he's talking with your suppliers.He is working hard.He has a sense of responsibility to your job.You should feel happy. At the same time,he may ignore your feeling.But I believe he is not intentional.If it really makes you feel so bad,you can go out and do something else.A little while seperation may help you.Call a good friend out and do something you all love to do. I don't know if it's useful to you,but it's useful to me.Hope you happy everyday!

Bored? Lucky you. I've almost forgotten the word. I spend most of my times at work. I take advantage of my free time to bond with my family and my friends... However, I always try to pamper myself once in a while. There's so much you can do, i suggest that you try something new. A new hobby, perhaps? Since I've come accross this site, I think I have a newfound pastime. It seems to be a fun way to meet people.

Maybe you could try to be creative if you're not already. Making...jewelry? Create gardens at your home. Volunteering in your community. Put yourself on a exercise plan...walking,jogging,swimming. There is always something one can do. You're young now take advantage of the time you have to spare.
