I'm Bored...

Is anyone out there bored? Has anyone out there been bored? I predict a general murmer of agreement has followed.
We're not always bored when we think we are. Occasionaly, when we think we are bored we are merely hoping for something that beats drawing or reading. Those activities are not boring, but we want something more exciting.
Have you ever noticed that you are more frequently bored after taking a vacation or been at an amusment park? Esspecially when you get back at 1:00 p.m., with nearly half the day left. The problem is, we're still used to having something to do right off the bat. Do you really have nothing to do? No. You have nothing to do that beats the Redwoods, Maryland, a Cruise, etc., but there is still that book to finish, that tape to hear, those cookies to bake, or that story to write.
Make sure when you say you're bored, you truly are. Otherwise, you'll be offered the chance to wash the dishes or sweep the floor; the fact that you're bored will be used against you, either immedietly or in the future.
