Lesson-0004: “Bored At Work How to Call Someone”

A different situation we can tell someone we are bored at work and share part of our life that is boring. For an example, if you have a boring job, you can explain to your friend how boring it is.

"How is your work these days?"
"Work is so boring that I’m going crazy."
"I ran out of things to do and management is too busy to give me more work. I tried to find things to do with no luck. I’m basically sitting in my chair pretending to work."
"That sounds so boring."
"Tell me about it. Time goes so slow when you're bored. I’d rather be busy. Then at least the day would go by faster."

Similar type of boring work is when doing something that is routine. Some sentences expressing boring work are:

"I’m doing the same thing over and over again."
"My work is so repetitious that I am getting bored of it."
"My work does not interest me."
"I’m only working to pay the bills."
"I wish I had your job."

Because some people are so busy, they envy people who have nothing to do at work.

"I’m so bored. I have nothing to do at work. I just surf the Internet all day long."
"I’m so busy at work, it’s driving me crazy. I really wish I had your job."

A: “Is it really that bad?”

B: “Maybe I should.”
