dibbleyuk Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Right guys basicly i work for a big printing company i used to work at our main branch in colchester but we also had a little one man branch on the garrison building site. Well they deside even though i was only 19 at the time they wanted to give me a chance at running my own branch. So they gave me the one on the garrison. I have been here for about 10months now and its been going great everyone is happy and im doing a really good job. The only thing is i sit in an office all day on my own. Most days i dont have alot to do and there is even some days where i have absolutly no work to do. Occassionly the girls in the office next door come and say hi but it doesnt help. Im starting to get so bored i dont know what to do with myself the days are such a drag, there is only so many websites you can look at before that gets boring an ive completed most of my computer games! HELP ME what can i do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallace9 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I kinda know how you feel. The place I'm at just now is dead and I'm bored as hell. Its funny though cause I'm a contractor and on quite a good rate and they just let me sit on my arse all day looking up the tinternet and playing games!!

paul_y3k Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 mate .. been there many times .... only one thing for it, start putting the feelers out for a new job. maybe give it 12 months in the postions though, cause then you can say you managed x for 1 year and looking for more challenges ?

Schtuv Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Suggestions are below. Some less serious than others ... - Write a business plan for opening another branch office (with you running it) and hand it to the higher-ups? - Book yourself into some free binge drinking sessions trade show days? - Paint the office? - Start you own business selling stuff on eBay, while it's quiet? - Make yourself a suit from scratch? - Learn a second language? - Take up Yoga?

Eve Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Know how you feel. The boredom I endure each day has given me an unhealthly addiction to the forum...only a matter of time before I get busted and sacked! Am looking for a new job and I think that is the only thing for it to be honest....good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Can't you try and drum up some business yourself ? Perhaps they are looking to see if you have initative to gain more work for the company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil tt Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 You always do what I used to do. Took all the pipes of the Soarer, took them to work and polished them, then the cam covers, when I finished that I took the wheels in and sprayed them, then I just started reading books. I did work there for 7 years, in the end I left because I done most of the work on the car:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
