It is possible to discover and rediscover that a "bored person" is not who you are. Boredom is just a state of mind.

⚡️Oh goodie, another 5,000 words on how #lightning is caused by *gasp* electricity! 🌩️ Quanta Magazine stretches an already thin topic into a teachable moment that even your #science teacher wouldn't bother with. But hey, at least we learned there's a GIFTS STORE if you want to buy some #boredom. 🎁🙄

A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle
I cannot live without brain-work. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window here. Was ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them? Crime is commonplace, existence is commonplace, and no qualities save those which are commonplace have any function upon earth.
Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) British writer and physician
Story (1890-02), “The Sign of the Four,” ch. 1 [Holmes], Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine, Vol. 45 (US) / 1 (UK)More about this quote: wist.info/doyle-arthur-conan/8…

Argh. Still nearly an hour on this train and it’s dark now. Was in Coventry for just 24 hours and 2 minutes for the Supergen ORE Assembly at Warwick University. Good to catch up with folk and hear about all the interesting research going on, but 4:45 each way on the train is rather long.

The detective answered the door. "Ah, lad. How was the safety induction?"
The rookie flopped into a chair. "I nearly died!"
"Of #boredom?"
"No. They decided to spice things up with practical exercises." He shuddered.

#Wss366 Rabbit / Easter #MastoPrompt Boredom #TimeTravelAuthors 04/5. Games in your story
[Continued from previous post]
Once I was out of sight, I whispered, “We need to head Ms. Dubois off before they learn about the letter cache. Be ready to time-trip if the #rabbits spot us.”
It didn’t come to that. The rabbits were focused on the professor.
We were also fortunate that the path the professor was on curved down into a ravine and then backtracked to the statue. That meant we could dive straight through the woods using an unofficial trail. The extra time allowed us to be cautious.
Periodically, we glimpsed ICE-nine uniforms and hid. It was a grim game of hide-and-seek. It kept #boredom at bay but was nowhere near as fun as playing pinochle or bezique with Emily.
While on our way, I came up with a plan and manifested a loose-fitting trench coat, fedora, and surgical mask. I also doused myself with Old Clipper cologne to hide any unique smells. Sus, I am sure, but I figured in the dim light I would pass as a man, someone clearly not Henrietta Bijou.
I was ready by the time we stumbled out of the ravine onto the path. I leaned against a tree, panting. A new idea occurred to me, and I hurriedly manifested an empty bottle of cheap vodka. Then I waited for my living counterpart to arrive. As she drew near, she moved to the far side of the trail. Yeah, I was suspicious, definitely creepy.
A look of terror came over Ms. Dubois’ face as I lurched across the trail. “Flee! The rabbits are on to you,” I whispered. Finished, I staggered away, dropping the liquor bottle. Lurching explained.
To my relief, the professor turned back, hurrying in the direction she had come from.
I turned in the other way and rushed to the tree to fetch the notes that were already there.
Emily drifted up as I shoved the papers into a pocket of my coat. “That was a plucky move,” she said.

"You stole the prince's bejewelled crystal eggs?! Why would you do such thing?"
"Boredom. The queen's holiday speech was going on forever, so I sneaked round the back of the hall. The eggs were on display and unguarded."
Loud shouts startled us.
"We'd better run, the guards are coming, and they don't sound happy. This isn't what I meant by joining the Easter egg hunt!"
