Try getting bored. It’s easy.

August 9, 2006 By Partha Bhattacharya Leave a Comment

Getting bored is never out of fashion. There is no dearth of items to get bored of. Food, cloth, car, soap, love, spouse, relation – you name it, you have it. For sure. Forever. Whoever said, “Business thrives on boredom” deserves unequivocal praise.

I’ve here some images for you that show different kinds of getting bored. If you feel getting bored is your monopoly, you’ll be sadly mistaken. Have a look at the images, and you’ll know why.

But before you scroll down, I’ve a small info’ for you. This one is sourced from a survey done by UK Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA), courtesy The Telegraph, Aug 8. The TDA survey lists about 15 most boring professions measured by the Workforce Boredom Index (the what? ..your guess is as good as mine!).

Administrative/secretarial work scores a perfect 10 (most boring), while teaching is the least boring (surprise!), scoring just 4. Coming between them in order of more to less boring professions are manufacturing, sales, marketing, IT, science research, media, law, engineering, banking, HR, accountancy, hospitality/travel and healthcare.

Well, sometimes it is not a good idea to rank high. Don’t you agree? Now, the images. Savor them.
