bored, bored, bored...

I never really realised just how many hours of work Darth Chaos added to my workload until now. Now that she's gone (and Anarchist Prime is not dumping work on me the way Darth Chaos did), I'm left twiddling my thumbs. I'm just beginning to contemplate indulging in make-work, as an alternative occupation to hassling QC for documentation that they haven't got time to do, or writing the trending report that I have right now, which is the last piece of work I'm going to have to do that is even remotely meaningful until I have to start covering for QC by way of sampling.

What have I been doing? Surfing the net. Musing about courses that I could be doing. Looking for information about courses I could be doing. Wondering what sort of value they could be adding to my career. Surfing the net. And, of course, surfing the net.

In other words, I am just starting to approach that inevitable point in the document controller's life known as "bored shitless."

If it wasn't for unrestricted internet access, I'd probably be writing fanfic right now. If this goes on much longer, I shall probably start writing fanfic again. Given enough practise, it might even be readable.
