Bored to tears

I have had nearly nothing to do at work the last few days. My job lacks challenge as it is, but on days like these, my brain goes absolutely numb. I have spent an obscene amount of time staring out the window. I am so bored at work that I actually Googled "work boredom." You would be amazed how much attention/research is dedicated to this topic. Researchers have actually determined that boredom at work creates very unhealthy stress. I can totally feel it! The last few nights when I get home from work I am so tense...a couple of nights ago I was actually on the verge of some sort of anxiety attack or nervous breakdown.

Of course, quite a bit of that stress may be a result of knowing that I may in fact lose my incredibly boring job. I should know in a couple of weeks whether this sale pending on my property is going to take place, and if so I will then have to wait and see whether the purchasers are going to keep me on.

In the meantime, I need to find something worthwile to do in my down time. I am used to having schoolwork to do, which I will have again in under two months, and for that reason I do not intend to leave this job. I am grateful that I can get the bulk of my reading out of the way here.

For now, it's killing me!
