You’re Bored, but Your Brain Is Tuned In. [Via]
Many many years ago I said to a friend, "I'm bored." She
replied, "you're just not paying careful enough attention."
I haven't been bored since.
My grandmother always said "an intelligent person is never bored".
But then my grandmother never worked as an administrative assistant, either.
Word. I had completey given up caffeine, but I had to take it back up again when I took a desk job. I kept nodding off.
I always tell myself that, fairywench. Now that Al Gore has invented the Tubes I find it easier to not be bored, thank goodness.
"an intelligent person is never bored".
And therein lies my problem.
Lin Yutang:
Probably the difference between man and the monkeys is that the monkeys are merely bored, while man has boredom plus imagination.
