An Introduction to Boredom

When others are faced with an unpleasant task, you may often observe the Countdown unto happier events. Monotonous manual labour in a subroomtemperature environment qualifies as 'unpleasant task', so I thought why not kill some time observing what my temporarily colleagues count down to.
Alas, no variation whatsoever. Where I seem to countdown to every happy event in the near and not so near future ( last BBQ of the summer, trip to California, friends' birthdayparty, my younger sisters' marriage, etc), everybody else seems only interested in passing the time between now and the next cigarette.
I hope there is more to life and until I have certainty, I'll long for homework.
