Id just be quiet about you having nothing to do before they figure out they dont need you anymore and get someone else to do your job for you and lay you off. Id be happy just to have a job and one that pays $18 an hour to boot!
Be in my shoes! Got injured on the job last year, can no longer work, wife has to support the family on her no skills needed job making a huge $6.50 an hour. I have to stay home and try to watch my 3 year old because I am a unskilled laborer and perminatly dissabled to the point no one will hire me. And I have to sit here and read how some of you are bored making $18+ an hour.

Surely you could do something. You can type. You can watch a 3 year old... if you can watch over a 3 year old then imo you can do anything!

Tell your wife she is worth more than 6.50.

All I can do anymore is type really. Besides that watching over a three year old will not allow me to do much more anyway. He takes up all of my time and with the 5 billion questions and things you have to look at would make it kinda hard to do anythign in between. And yes my wife I have told is priceless to me. When she comes home she has to work here doing laundy, dishes, cleaning up, taking the dogs out, dinner. Stuff like that. If you think about it our life sucks.

That's what I was thinking.
I'm bored of being bored!

Bingo. I can only cruise these boards and the internet so much, I'm trapped here with Golden Handcuffs, so to speak.

So I've been at my new job for a week. So far I've been assigned one thing which took me an hour to do. I asked one of my supervisors if there's anything else to do for the rest of today, and he said no.

Darnit, I read the entire internet yesterday, now what the heck am I gonna do?

You are golden dude. Just browse ATOT.
On second thought, why do companies outsource to india when the alternative is having employees do nothing and get paid....hmmm.....
 
yeah, where are these wonderful jobs where you get paid to surf???

/bitterly unemployed
//would cut own toes off for $18/hr
 
I'm into overtime here, and will be for the next 4 hours or so.. I'm rolling in $60 an hour worth of bored. Baby needs a new pair of shoes!

Go to the restroom and imagine that you're surfing porn.
