So freakin' bored

[fbrdphreak]

So I'm done with classes for a couple weeks, then one boring "econ for engineers" class for five weeks. But right now I'm at work, as I will be every afternoon to pay the damn bills, and I'm bored out of my fvcking mind. I just posted the review I was doing last night, the next laptop I'm reviewing won't be in for a bit, so I can't do that. There's one machine here that needs to be imaged and I'll go do it, but then I won't have anything to do until I leave at 5pm. Sure, someone might call with a problem, but they'll just be annoying.

I really wish I could game while I'm here, that would rock ass. Instead I'm going to be bored browsing AT until 5pm when I can finally leave and go to the gym.

I busted my ass this last semester and was busy 120% of the time, so me sitting here twittling my thumbs is driving me crazy.

Who else is extremely fvcking bored?

Pretty much the same thing man, I enjoy working and I finish every task given to me as quickly as possible.

My project doesn't start till mid-june. SO BORED

A few summers ago, before I had my own place at school, I went home and couldn't find a job that I really wanted because Greenville is a dinky ass town. My Dad was buddies with a home contractor so I worked for him, doing a lot of cleanup and finished or near finished home sites and also kinda being his right hand man. I'd help him with all his usual stuff, run errands, etc. I'm pretty big & strong so I was a good mule to help him with all this stuff.

That was one of my most fun jobs. I was outside all/most of the day, got lots of exercise, worked hard for my money ($7/hour off the books, not terrible), and learned a lot too. I also drove a 2x4 through the back window of his beater Suburban while backing up a trailer loaded with junk

I almost want a job like that again. At least it would keep me busy and I'd be outside getting exercise. I'm making a lot of good progress at the gym, but at least today its just annoying that this is going to be my routine for the summer. Go to work every day, if I don't I become closer to being financially screwed, then go to the gym right after so I can keep up my progress, and go home to probably do more work on reviews or articles. Ugh

Help me build a new system:

1) I want a small/cheap case, any suggestions other than the Antec Aria and Aspire Q-Pack?

2) What micro ATX motherboard/CPU would you recommend? Something solid, reliable, S939, FireWire, onboard everything, etc.

This probly belongs in SFF

I don't know about microATX boards or cases, but for a CPU it should be obvious: Opteron 165 or X2 3800 for dual core, otherwise any cheap ol' single core will do.

Check hot deals, there's a Monarch coupon code that makes the Opteron 165 $278 shipped.

Some color would be good. I don't think the monocromatic design looks bad, but some color would be a nice touch

Two more hours and I can hit the gym...

I want to read this book written by a current military guy who was in Iraq, looked every interesting. Wish I had it here

I have a new Car & Driver mag in my backpack here, but I save that for cardio in the gym 'cuz otherwise I'm bored to tears there too. And if I'm bored during cardio, I don't do it, which is bad

That's how I pass time @ work too. I've read more books in the last month than I have in the previous 10 years.
