Is it just me! But interacting with people via the net can be downright boring sometimes! I mean how many times will you go to someone's personal page to see some goofy update about what people are cooking, where they are going, how great their children did in school or something else!
Sometimes you look for trouble just to get a charge! Why so many boring people? I'll tell you, because people are beginning to act like one another. It starts like this, you see what I do, so you copy my online actions (no matter how boring) because you think it will work for you and so on. Before long, everyone is looking and sounding the same! They are either reporting on their online or offline findings/activities, venting about something, or saying something so off the wall that everyone in their network actually ponders on whether they want to receive their news feeds anymore let alone be a friend. Those who love shocking people in their network are actually bored quite possibly with those in their inner circle offline, so going online is where they get their charge.
Between being bored offline and online, you are going to do one of two things: say something offensive and/or connect with some groups or participate in activities you wouldn't normally do. Once you stop being bored, you will look back on your actions and most likely say, "I didn't mean to do that..."

Ready for those Boring Holiday Events?
From holiday office parties to an all day affair with the in-laws, you know you will be bored at some of these so-called fun events. So what do you do?
1. Bring your own beverages.
If you are going to be somewhere that isn't going to serve your favorite drink, bring your own.
2. Pack an overnight bag and stay at a nearby hotel.
You might find that your spouse and children will want to spend more time at a relative's house than expected. Why try to make the long drive back home, when you can make plans to stay at a nearby hotel with your honey? Just be sure, that your partner informs his or her relatives in advance so that you won't feel obligated to stay with them when they say, "Don't pay for a hotel, stay with us!"
3. Take separate cars.
Maybe you still want to make that drive back home with or without your family. Why not arrive in separate cars so that you don't have to take the family back home with you before they are ready to leave. Besides, you can have the peace and quiet you want anyway.
4. Help the host.
When you are busy doing things during a holiday event, it makes the time go faster. So offer to help serve meals, clean dishes, take the trash out, decorate or whatever else needs to be done. This is also a great way to keep from conversing with those folks you simply don't like!
5. Join the children.
The people who usually have the most fun at family events are the children. So join in on the fun when they are playing gaming systems and board games. Who says you have to sit at the table and listen to the grumblings of the old folks?
As you think of incorporating these ideas and others to keep from becoming bored out of your mind at the next holiday event, just remember you are responsible for your own fun, so if the partner doesn't agree or doesn't want to meet you halfway, you can always stay home.

Workplace Boredom
Boredom at the workplace can be quite destructive to the worker and there are ways of averting this problem.
The boredom might result in catastrophic consequences especially to a person who loves work, but to an idler it is never an issue. So it can result in low productivity, dwindling job satisfaction, and energy. That is why it is wise to deal with it squarely in the following ways.
For a start, you could use this extra time in between tasks to find out more about your organization by simply browsing the internet from the computers in the office.
You would benefit and make great strides in your career by learning more about the organization structures, policies, and aims and past achievements. This will also transform your view about the organization and help you to see your future with the company.
During the intervals when the work would not be so heavy, it is good also to get to know your colleagues by helping them to finish their tasks, get to know what they do and how they do it which might come in handy one day to further your career. As you pass time doing this and beating boredom; you will come out with more knowledge, energy and with a positive outlook.
Nevertheless, some workers normally tend to get bored just because there is no challenge in the tasks they are given to perform. This can be remedied by the worker making himself more useful in other areas by asking for more work to be assigned to him that poses greater challenge.
Cooperate with colleagues at work by being more of a team player rather than an individual when handling tasks. This helps to make the assignments more interesting because your colleagues will bring in fresh ideas and ways of handling the task.
Occasionally the boredom issue arises because the worker has been assigned tasks that are beyond his own scope, such that he is unable to work but passes time wondering where to start; so loses interest in it. This can be dealt with by the worker promises himself a reward with every progress he makes at the task. Rewards could take the form of getting an extra hour of sleep or buying oneself a gift after doing the work successfully.
These are the many ways that one can get rid of boredom at the work place, and it will go a long way in ensuring one enjoys work and furthering of career in the future.
