Ways to make you boring admin job bearable¦

Spend most of your working day surfing the Web and arguing with ABCTalers; spend the rest of it frantically playing catch-up on those invoices that should have gone out on Wednesday. Pretend that your job is, indeed, high-powered and terribly important, and that the world will collapse without you at the helm. Tell your supervisor that you are designing a new filing system that will revolutionise the way services are provided. Delay implementation of this new system until *at least* Christmas. Explain that this is because you are now working out some 'snarls' in the system. Do you *really* go commando at work, Peps?

My favourite is the one where you pretend your body is a giant robot and you're a tiny pilot in a cockpit in the skull cavity. Suddenly you're in charge of this really cool robot in a massive office / landing bay. It helps if you mutter things like 'Rotate head 45 degrees starboard' each time you turn to look at stuff.

Clearly I need to be more imaginative with my admin job!! Robots and the Chosen One! :-)

stab sharpened pencils into your palm until it bleeds plot elaborate suicides hide in the toilet and cry quit and become an engineer instead

I used to work in an engineering stores but pretended it was a sex toy warehouse. Made serving o rings and flanges to oily faced fitters a little more enjoyable. Not that I'm gay, although I don't have anything against gays. One of them said to me one day "I've been on a course," and I said "what - intercourse?" and he said "Intercourse? I'd rather have a good shit." And we both smiled.

Pretend to the hot secretary that you're really an MI5 agent, could liven things up no end. nobody

.... or, according to a Those Least Bored At Work Survey, everyone should quit their jobs and become teachers or health workers instead. There's no time to be bored then.

Bored would be a luxury.
