Bored? DO SOMETHING!
Posted by Ivi Morales · 0 Comment
I hate being bored at my internship.
If I am at work, I want to work. I do not want to kill time refreshing my email, stalking friends on Facebook or reading my Twitter feed. I yearn for productivity. I want to start a project, work tediously, complete it and feel accomplished. I want to be useful, a contributing member of the team.
