What do you do when bored at work?

But it does work sometimes with the first click on submit, but sometimes even not on the third. So it won't avoid all spamming (cause sometimes works directly) and probably sometimes avoid good posts at least for some time

well they refused to give me a cost of living increase every 6 months for the last 5 years, even after shipping me around the country and having me living out of hotels that cost more than my wages, setting me up as a scapegoat for a failing project, and paying me a fifth of the going rate, training people who are on twice as much money as me... so I started caring less and taking the piss more and more with lateness and attendance, to the point where its like this big joke. Anyway, I'm driving in at lunch time yesterday thinking "Well, you've really done it this time, you are sacked", instead they offer me a permie job. Fantastic!

I didn't mean the c word in a bad way, I've got nothing against the staff or middle/lower management, hell I love this job and the people I work with. If I didn't, I wouldn't still be here after 5 years! I could earn five times what I'm making doing the same on a 'real' contract, but that would mean little to no surfing time and a strict work ethic (where I can't call my colleagues cunts), and maybe working with people who I hate. Obviously I'm not mentioning the company name haha, if anyone in upper management was to read this I'd be getting the Spanish Fiddle (El Bow).

Okay and get this, I'm driving in to work today and my power steering dies with only 3 weeks left on my warranty. My lucky week this week. I'm gonna play the lottery tonight for the first time ever...

Really?
Why would they do that when everywhere in England is like, 20 minutes away from each other?
Hell, I thought people in Edinburgh routinely hopped over to London for their lunch hour.
