It's FRIDAY! I could watch paint dry!

HOLY CARPS am I finding myself so incredibly bored on my once a week day of relaxation and fun, the hay-day of the week, that one thing that everybody looks forwards to: FRIDAY. All I want is to hang out with somebody, maybe go somewhere and do something, even just watch a movie with somebody. I can't do any of this because all of my friends are gone at college, and the ones that are here are never available. I'm sure you're thinking "Can't you hang with your college friends?" No, I commute, the only time I see them is when I'm downtown for class. It's very hard to make friends when right after class you have to catch a train to get home and go to work. I just can't stand having weekend after weekend where all I do is sit on my computer in my room doing absolutely nothing. I could settle for picking up a friend, driving to 7/11 and getting a slurpee, going back to my house and doing something as simple as maybe just watching a video on youtube, and then calling it a night. I can't do that though because there is nobody around to be able to do it with. I have all this pent up energy and no way of using it for fun. Working out isn't fun, though it's what I often end up using my energy on at midnight or later because I haven't been able to do anything the whole night.

Final Thoughts: Don't be one of those people who always get called by their friends but is NEVER able to do anything, even if you're tired or some crap, GET OVER IT and make time for you and your friends. Nothing makes you feel more refreshed than being involved in a good relationship with people you care about.

Get busy working on looking busy.

Ugh, the ever bittersweet sting of a day at work where there's nothing to be done. You show up at 7 and you leave at 4 yet there is no work within this entire 9 hour stretch. Sure, you can pretend to look busy, but that takes more effort than actually doing work that has to be done. You could also try and find a place to just hang out and do nothing, but you'd better be prepared to go to it just in case somebody needs you or is just wondering where you've vanished to. Really, the only thing you can do on days like these is to find some tasks that are done often and do those even if they don't need to be done, and try to pass the rest of the time by working on something perhaps for yourself. If you can milk what you're doing and make things take longer than required you'll be able to pass the time a little faster, but it'll still creep by in the end, and I guarantee that you're going to be real tired of the job you're making a day out of. If you find yourself stuck in one of these situations I find that there are only two solutions no matter how you choose to enact them: don't show, or bring your coat, it's gonna be a long winter.
