BORED!

I have been tired all day, but this morning I was busy, so I managed to get over it.

This afternoon I am trying to proof read the consultation paper I wrote a couple of weeks ago. Proof reading is drab at the best of times, but this subject is drier than a pharaoh's sock and reading it is a lot less involving than drafting it. It is like revising for an exam; the initial work may be interesting, but revision is dull, dull, dull.

I have managed to smear paw grease all over my glasses because I almost nodded off reading the damned thing and suddenly realised that a) I was slowly nodding ever closer to the document, b) that I couldn't remember anything that had happened fopr the past 45 minutes and c) that my glasses had ridden up my forehead and over my hand as my head slid in the opposite direction.

I. AM. BORED. BEYOND. ALL. REASON.

I recommend using a piece of string to measure your head.

I'll second that - if you have a piece of string in your desk drawer.
Now that would have given the spooky lady something to mark on her charts

Pssst....just do what everyone else does...and bung it up to the Better Regulation Unit ....get them to proof read it and suggest ammendments.

Just don't send it to yours truly ok ?!


Ladies, civil servants aren't allowed to stock anything in the stationary cupboard that we could use to hang ourselves (or senior managers) with....

You could always try making it into an paper plane, should make it more fun!

Pretend that you are not you but a shapechanging secret agent working for a cabal of wizards, and that you are scanning the document for hidden messages inserted by the Undead Martians of Atlantis. Pretend that the real you is locked up in a cupboard somewhere. At the end of each page scan the office and see if you can work out which of your collegues is a hollowed out corpse being used as a disguise by an agent of the Undead Martians of Atlantis.

An excelent idea, which could be further embelished with the use of a piece of crystal (skull shaped if possible).
Just make sure you scan any newcomer to the room with your crystal lense to make sure they are not a hollowed out corpse being used as a disguise by an agent of the Undead Martians of Atlantis.

Excuse me - but I shall have to deal with the results of this when he gets home!

You're not one of them are you?

One of them or one of Them?

*hides evidence*

Possibly only one of them.

But perhaps we have said too much already!
