    Always bored at work.
    I was working at a law firm and ended up getting terminated because of something I did not do but they did not want to hear what I had to say. Regardless I was constantly bored there because there was hardly any work.

    I found a new job and have been here for three weeks now and am still constantly bored, I actually have to ask people if they have anything I can do for them. I am sick of jobs like this, I want to busy, what do I do. It took me about four months to even find a new job.

    Keep your new job, but try to keep yourself busy and not get bored. In the meantime, you can also look for a better job.

    Look for a new job while working at this one - but not on company time! If you are always bored at your jobs, then you need to find a field that is more challanging. Do you have a degree? Maybe you should consider night classes is you are not qualified for positions that interest you.

    If you are paid well to do nothing, count yourself lucky and learn to meditate.

    In an office, there are usually things that need done and no one wants to do them. Even if its cleaning out the supply closet, organize the book shelves, label drawers/shelves. Find something that you and the company can benefit from. Create a web page for them. Employers love self starters that can can organize. Plus the day goes by faster if you stay busy.

    There should be no reason you are bored. You must not know how to entertain yourself. I have what could be called a boring job, but I have taken a different tack. I read books all day. So far I have read some pretty thick books that I never would have been able to finish at home. I don't know if you are allowed to read at work or not, but if you are able to read at work, by all means READ! Hopefully you can find some self help books to read as well to help you learn more about yourself, your career, etc. Just job shopping for a better job can be a full time job, but you don't want to do this at your daytime job. You can read books about self improvement galore. This can definitely help you in the future. In the meantime, be extremely happy that you even HAVE a job to be bored at.

    You probably don't want to be in a dangerous position, as you are the mother
    Of young twins, but many young mothers are in the law enforcement profession.
    Trust me, seldom does a boring day occur if you live in a large city.

    You really DON'T want to get caught looking for work while you still have a job.
    If being a police officer or a detective doesn't seem safe enough, how about
    Being a dispatcher for either a police department or EMS? These jobs are
    Challenging and carry a lot of responsibility, making sure that the officers
    And EMTs get the right directions, and counseling victims who call in
    Who are often in imminent danger. This is hardly ever a boring job.

    Just a suggestion.
