I Am Bored With Work

I am bored with work. My job is mundane. Somedays it seems I might go insane. It's the same thing day after day, but I have no choice, I need the pay. My job is boring, disenchanted I am. If I win the lottery I'm going on the lam. ~~by Francine Roberts ~~ for Linda Marie's "I Am Bored With___" contest

I am at home now and work is staring to look pretty darn good. I thought of putting an ad in "Have brain, will travel". Vince

Sadly work can deject us at times. I enjoy my job, but there are days when I want to be away from it. Good luck in the contest with this reality poem Francine....:)

Great heartfelt verse Francine... My poetic lizards were like a couple of Frilly lizards (Bearded Dragons) methinks.. I tried the bored one and frustration got in the way hehe

francine, after I wrote mine, bored with nothing, I got to thinking was there anything that really WAS boring and you could do nothing about it? And THIS was the subject I came up with. WORK. YOu GOT IT, Girl!! Nothing more boring than work when you do not LIKE your work. Because it is an obligation and you cannot escape it. VERY good!

If you go "on the lam," Francine, I'd love to show you the sites in Florida. I get bored with some types of work too. What do you do for a living? When I was a journalist, it was never boring, but I did have some data entry jobs that were very boring. Best wishes in the contest! The theme of your new contest was very inspiring and I'm sure it will fill quickly. Love, Carolyn

LOL - I certainly know where you're coming from! I couldn't think of anything that really bored me for this contest - my job is so boring it didn't enter my head LOL
