Something's Gotta Be More Entertaining than Filing

So... I'm really bored. I can't do any more filing, because I'll rip my eyeballs out just to give me something else to do. Four people are gone from the office today, which leaves only 15 people in the office-- it's really slow. On days like this, and all last week, I find it very difficult to find something to keep myself from falling asleep with my eyes open or driving myself mental with boredom. Amy suggested I could scrub down the kitchen... um... no... I'd rather do filing. What do people do who don't have anything to do? Is reorganizing the supply cupboards and scrubbing down the kitchen my only option? Because the filing won't last forever, so once my pile's done, I'm left with absolutely nothing else to do on my desk.
So help me out! Give me some ideas! I've read every headlining article on cnn.com, 9news.com, and all my blogs that I subscribe to... I'm desperate! HELP!

This Guy is My New Hero!

If I had $45,000 per year of my own money to spend on helping those in need, I'd totally do what this guy does:

The Smores Are Calling Out to Me


So I have to vent a little. This weekend is the young marrieds camping trip and we can't go! Camping is one of the best things in the world and we have to miss it. We're celebrating Michael's step-father, Jerry's, birthday this weekend at a big party Michael's mom and Jerry's mom are hosting. Don't get me wrong, I love parties, especially birthday parties because it's a day to celebrate someone!
So of course, the camping trip had to fall on the same weekend, out of the entire summer, that we had something planned-- we've known about the party and the date of the party for at least 2 months, so there was no getting out of it. All of our friends are going and I really wish we could go. Another couple from the group can't go and they said that they'll coordinate another trip later in the summer... needless to say, I'm going to make sure that happens! Oh, and on top of missing this camping trip, my parents invited us to go camping with them next weekend and my friend is having a bachelorette party that weekend, another party I've known about for months... I guess I'm just destined to not go camping... I'm sure both parties will be a blast, but I still wish I could go camping... mmm... smores...
