Bored

Well, I've been working at the museum for nigh on a month now, and still have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing. I have an office though, which is nice. And a work experience assistant, who is also nice. I've been mostly working on the archaic database they use for recording the archive (I'm told there are about 16000 items, but the database files tend to have been corrupted, so I can only get at 10000), but this week I've been coding the website. HTML/CSS coding is not an exciting thing to spend hours trawling through, looking for a misplaced tag. It is for this reason that I complied a list of things to do rather than do more coding for a website no-one will ever look at anyway.

Things I considered doing to battle boredom:

1) Rearranging my office so that everything points towards magnetic north*
2) Sorting my Skittles by colour*
3) Juggling with Skittles*
4) Going over to Asda to buy more Skittles*
5) Drawing a moustache on the woman in the portrait hanging in the corner of the room
6) Visiting the archaelogy department on my swivel chair, while negotiating sets of steps*
7) Placing my mp3 player in the Victorian Life exhibit*
8) Wearing a replica Civil War battle tunic on the coffee run
9) Using redundant phrases, such as "I'm mentally thinking in my head", and "I'll have it finished by 1300 hours pm in the afternoon"*
10) Using RJ45 ethernet cables to abseil out of the window
11) Replacing the ships in the Battle of Lowestoft display with rubber ducks
12) Putting a "Where's The Beef?" label by the buffalo skeleton
13) Answering the phone in a range of accents*
14) Practicing keep ups with my frankly vast rubber band ball*
15) Engaging in a duel with a rogue bluebottle*
16) Arranging the museums entire supply of pins on the notice board in a smiley face*
17) Going busking with a lute
