Boredom - Occupational Hazard

Now that I've started earning money by staring at the monitor for hours on end, I decided to put these 20 weekly hours of student worker position to some creative use. Going back to my ebooks and papers was one option, but the lazy part of my character quickly fought back "What! Don't you dare utilize the work hours for your personal objectives!". Another option was to see these boring hours as a break from studies, thus meant for recreational purposes. After all, I was being paid for recreation. Where do you get such an opportunity! Samsung India Software Center sprung back to my mind, and slid itself behind a wall of professional secrecy. Anyway, one form of recreation, I wondered, could be music. But using headphones while at the help desk of a computer lab isn't a good idea, unless its the finals week and your supervisor doesn't let you go, and you're ready to risk your job, though only for a week's study when that job could instead pay your expenses for a couple of years. Ironic, huh? Anyway, I could also get some form of modern recreation, something that youth today resorts to anytime of the day, any place on the earth, in any and every mood, Facebook! I could comment on others' moods, throw my own tantrums upon the rest of the world, or scroll through photos of a friend enjoying a bungee jump, or another one rejoicing at the news of his mother-in-law's hospitalization. None of these solutions seem impressive though. What I seek is a permanent solution to my multilemma. As I write this sentence, its been 2 weeks since I started this exercise of waste. I have so far wasted 40 valuable hours simply staring at the monitor, and am still looking for a way out. Stephen Hawking said in his talk yesterday "If you think you're stuck in a black hole, don't give up. There is a way out!". I'll keep looking...
