Cross-country work day funny

A certain friend of ours now has a job a LOT like mine, and we are at work the exact same hours during the day (except for the days when I skip out to do something random, LOL!  I've been taking a lot of days off lately, simply because I don't feel like going in.  Yes, I schedule them in advance, that's what vacation days are for.)  So we chat a bit through the day on Google chat, keep each other amused, bitch to each other when work or co-workers make us crazy (ok, yeah, that's mostly me), talk to stall when the pile of work on the desk is just too much . . . generally just keep each other company.

This conversation today cracked me up:

Lisa: okay - if you can actually die of boredom? I'm totally going to today

Jen: BWAH HA HA HA

it's more boring when you have boring work than when you have nothing to do, huh

Lisa: I never thought it would be - but yeah, totally

Jen: trust the woman who has been doing this for 5 years. :)

Lisa: LOL

I mean, seriously - I open a spreadsheet, highlight rows, copy, paste special into new worksheet, close old file, drag it to different folder, then start on the next one.

OVER AND OVER

I will perish - just you watch

Jen: hee

it's no wonder I've gained weight in this job -- I eat just to break up the boredom

Lisa, thank you for being my work buddy!!!  You make the 8.5 hours I'm sitting here SO much more tolerable!!!!

It's still funny - and I'm still bored.

Thank YOU for being my work buddy! I definitely wouldn't make it through these days without you.

And would you quit with the days off? They're KILLING me!
