Boredom... what's that?

Re: Boredom... what\'s that?

I guess I need to know if there is a difference between bored and antsy.

The month I waited for the tractor delivery I was bored. My mind was going a mile a minute but I wasn't.

Sitting at a restaurant waiting for a two year old and a four year old to actually finish eating. A task that takes forever since they seem to be follow Gary's lead and just people watch instead of eating. Wife won't let me just scoop them up so yeah, bored to tears.

Visiting the in-laws for dinner. They have some kind of genetic defect that causes them to chew in slow motion. My father-in-law can spend hours eating a slice of meat. My only activity is side bets on when the kernel of corn is actually going to fall off his lip and where it will land. Insanely bored.

Any conversation with my Mother-in-law can lead to mind numbing boredom.

So yeah, I guess I have been bored. Not since tonight at the restaurant but often enough.

( But if I had to say when I do...well I guess wedding services and funerals come to mind... )

Not so much the boredom for me, but the thought of a more productive use of my time.

You hit the nail on the head herdfan, and that's when I get real antsy /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Yep, that's the two things I hate to attend myself, and I had to go to a funeral last week, and now another one tomorrow. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

( Going on vacation soon, actually hoping to be bored a bit.)

I always hope for the same thing too on vacation, but my Type-A wife prevents that from happening!
