Bored

The daily writing prompt asks – What bores you?

I guess a bad book, show or movie have bored me in the past. Some discussions about jobs. A lot of today’s music. Recent car designs. Trump and his circus clown show. Cutting grass, raking leaves, shoveling snow. Some traffic situations. Waiting for the first coat of paint to dry before putting second on.

Being on hold with Verizon support. Some technical classes I’ve taken. Watching people in stupid arguments. Watching golf. Shopping and power outages.

Waiting rooms because nobody talks anymore because everyone has their heads in the phone.

Undergoing radiation.

Boring

“What bores you?” So ask the daily writing prompt.

If you enjoy life or are looking to enjoy it being bored isn’t much of a problem. I can almost always find something to entertain me.

But a few things do cause boredom.

Listening to self-absorbed people talk.

Listening to regurgitated material in a meeting or presentation that I already know.

Waiting rooms are now boring. Didn’t used to be because instead of everyone looking down at the cell phone in total silence – PEOPLE AT ONE TIME IN HISTORY USED TO TALK TO ONE ANOTHER.

I’ve been bored to death when called for the jury selection process.

I guess a repetitive job would be boring. Been so long since having one of those that I almost forgot.

NOTE: Baseball was boring but the rule changes they made have brought the sport back to being watchable again. Thank you. Go YANKEES
