Boredom drives people to do some strange, strange things. Also some less strange but certainly destructive things.
Witness the guy who came in, at noon, absolutely smashed. He was bored. So he drank an entire bottle of Whiskey and then went for a bicycle ride. By all accounts it was going really well until he hit the curvy portion of the road, fell off his bike, rolled down a ravine, and smashed his chest into a drain pipe.
Remarkably, apart from some bruises and a couple of broken ribs…and a BAC in the 300′s…he was fine.
Another bored person around here decided out of sheer, dehumanizing, shattering boredom to pick a fight. He picked the wrong fight and wound up with a bullet in his gut. Sort of a crappy day for him, but I guess it did take the edge off that boredom…
The reason I bring all this up is that I have been incredibly bored at work. I need to find something to do to avoid the fate of these bored people.
