I was in this exact situation last year. It's the only time I would actually suggest going the dirty capitalist route- do your job, do it well, do it so well that they give you something more interesting to do.
Either that, or come up with interesting ways to defraud the system. Fantasize about putting them into effect.

Why can´t you bring more than one CD to work?

He is a data-entry monkey-boy, don't expect him to figure out that he can carry more than 1 CD with him to work.

As far as data-entry, been there and done that, hopefully never again - though it does leave you plenty of energy to enjoy your evenings with. You can do that job with 4 hours sleep in you and it is no hardship

whaleboy i feel your pain have the same trouble started a similiar job 3 weeks ago...but i do have internet access...no that this is helping YOU but i makes me feel a little bit better . but to get thru the day take 3 hour break with the hot girls/guys you are working with works for me

Well it's not that, it's just that I'm notoriously obsessive about which music I play... I have ~130 CD's plus about 5000 mp3's, it takes me like 10 minutes to decide which CD to bring to work... I'll look like a ***** if I have to start doing risk analyses of Velvet Revolver vs. Queen just before lunch.

Looks like it's a slam dunk. You're gay.

The Nixon-Kennedy debates ?


That explains the Log Cabin Republicans.

People are already talking apparently . One of the guys in the post room is gay but I'm more interested in the aforementioned female.

Make a bet with a co-worker as to which one you'll have bent over the photocopier first.

How do you know Whaleboy won't be the one getting bent over?

One who can't say no.


If you're bored at work, try memorizing the logarithmic tables, or epic poems in foreign languages.

Then repeat them to yourself at work.


Soon you may find work less boring....

I'd guess like most bisexual men you are inherently a total slut!

I hate taking forever deciding what I want to listen to at work. Lately I've just been going in alphabetical order . Kind of boring as it doesn't account for the mood I'm in (and I actually force myself to listen to the CD's I have I felt were a mistake to buy).

iPods are for Abercrombie-wearing ****ers and the ****ers who secretly worship them.

Be careful though- when I did this job in January, we were so good that they ran out of work and let us go after 11 days.

But yeah, I know what you mean whaleboy, it's a stupidly boring job, and it's not like you can do anything like surfing the net or reading a book anyway, as supervisors are usually around to make sure they're getting their money's worth out of you. I spent my entire first week's wages on a great mp3 player which kept me sane in the last six days of the job

Failing that, try pyromania.
