I work in a office and at times it gets very boring. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas for me? like some good jewish websites to keep me busy with.
Thanks for your help.
Have any friends that instant message? You can play a game with them!!!
If you have access to the CR, how can you be bored?!

Looks like you already found something 🙂
I would suggest that you ask your Boss for more responsibility or if he/she needs help with anything else. After all that is what you get paid for “to work” and not to play. However, if the boss says he/she doesn’t mind that you search the web on his/her time then I would suggest you do some research about your job that could be useful to move upward, playing some mind challenging games to exercise your brain or read a book.
YWCR!!!
Aries, it is interesting that I sent a post basically saying the same thing as you in
regards to the person being paid by the boss to WORK and not play. Apparently the mods found my somewhat tongue-in-cheek reply to be offensive, as they pulled it almost as soon as they posted it. I guess you were more diplomatic than I. Kol Hakavod.
It’s not a matter of diplomacy. It’s a matter of outright condemning someone’s actions when you have no idea of the relevant situation, versus making suggestions.
boredstiff, I suggest you work if you want to be in that office next month
oomis…don’t i know know that feeling 😀 actually some employers don’t mind if you chat online in between your responsibilities, as long as said chatting does not get in the way of you performing your job properly. i dont know how you would find that out, but you should to avoid any problems.
I know of one person who used to work where I do and he used his free time to learn computer programming and then he became much more valuable to my boss fixing software problems in the system and finally he started freelancing and now makes far more on the outside as an independent consultant.
Actually now that I think about it, I know of two people from my place who did that and a third one who came already with such knowledge but increase his value through expoerience and learning and went out on his own and now makes at least 3 times what he made, at his old job in the place where I still work.
There are many ways of learning to adcvance your career even if you want to change careers thare are many ways to learn online so your time is not wasted just sitting around or playing games.
Then of course there are websites to study Torah on, as well.
It reminds me of something I heard when I was in yeshivah about a gadol who was asked how he became so great and he responded “in 3 minutes”, which he explained was the 3 minutes waiting in line or waiting while a simcha started or anytime he had a ‘free’ minute he got in just a bit more learning and he had done this in yeshivah inbetween shiruim while others were relaxing and taking it easy.
By the way, a year ago “chunchie” started a thread called, “Ideas For Spare Time in Office?” it has 12 posts. You can see what people said then, by clicking: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/ideas-for-spare-time-in-office
