Of course, I won't be able to retire for another thirty years -- maybe longer with all my debt. Sigh.<BR/><BR/>I do, however, get bored listening to colleagues talk about history as little flags on maps.GayProfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11289510184782252498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12596260.post-1154828586431683372006-08-05T21:43:00.000-04:002006-08-05T21:43:00.000-04:00My mama always told me, "If you're bored, you're a...My mama always told me, "If you're bored, you're a boring person." I'd have to agree with you, Roger. I get mind numbingly, foot shakingy, claustrophically bored feeling at a boring meeting.

It's a pretty fearless satirical magazine, and it writes this week:<BR/><BR/>".. it was presumably another Helen Kirwan-Taylor ... who penned a lengthy piece for the Evening Standard in October last year giving her tips for raising well-adjusted offspring: 'I can never get over how celebs talk about discipline when you know they have two-full time nanneis , and the mothe is never at home anyway.

So tedious does she find her children that she has written a mere 46 articles about them and their various nannies for the national press in the past six years"<BR/><BR/>But to answer your questions- the only time I'm bored is occasionally when I'm driving.
