I just… can’t be bothered. With anything. I’m ennui personified today. Don’t want to do anything but bored by not doing anything. Eh. Ever feel like that? ---

Join [Lobsang](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=194987). What’s up with all you Britons being bored? Learn a different, language, that’s what you should do! I know, you’re well versed in, what’s it, three or four languages. What can I say? This was the best I could do. ---

I’m right there with you **Francesca**. My boss is on vacation starting today and I have undertaken to be as bored as possible all day today. So far it’s working quite well. ---

You should have given yourself something to do to engage your attention. I, for example, have all sorts of interesting curry and soup stains to clean off my clothing … hours of amusement. ---

I’ve had a case of what I like to call the “Don’t Wannas” for a couple of weeks now. It’s getting annoying. I sit here looking at my work piling up and my house going to hell around me, and I simply _do not care_. I just want to go reread Harry Potter some more or watch LOTR again or something like that. Or take another nap. **yawn** ---
