The other day someone was working at my desk, and so I was just sitting here watching them work on my computer. So naturally, I was bored out of my mind and started looking for things to do. At first I just stared at the ceiling. And then I tried to take a nap while sitting up. But that didn’t work, so I decided to color.
Now, I do have crayons at my desk, so I could have colored with those. But that would make it too obvious that I wasn’t working. So I settled on the Sharpie. But I didn’t want to just color on paper. Again, that would be too obvious. There was a foam cup on my desk, though, and I decided that would work perfectly.
That had a problem, however. Sharpie on foam is LOUD. It was really obnoxious and I really SHOULD have been working. And so I decided to color in a key. Yep, I spent an hour coloring in an old key.
And I’d feel bad about this, but like I said, someone was using my computer. There was literally nothing else to do. He would even shush me when I tried to add something, so whatever, coloring it is.
I also like drawing mountains. And by that I mean triangles.

Sometimes when I was a temp I would run out of things to do.
Once I made a list of good things in my life. Toward the end of the day it was mostly food. But it never occurred to me to color. Or I would have.
I feel your pain about being bored at work. How much so? So much so that I’ve taken to playing with knives and markers between the gaps in phone calls. *points to link* I felt the need to get a deviantart profile for all my boredom to go on so I could keep it for posterity. After all, between 2am and 5am some mornings… most people just want to sleep.
ALSO, coloring keys aren’t so bad. I painted a key gold for my buddy in Utah for his birthday. Oh, and when I was working at T.J. Maxx in the fitting room, I used to sketch with a straight pin on wax paper. I even gave a wax paper angel to my grandma that year…
>_> Like I said… I feel your pain.
