With next to nothing to do at work yesterday, I was extremely bored. After looking up boredom on dictionary.com, it turns out that boredom only begins to describe my state. My state goes past boredom into the realm of ennui. What the heck is ennui, you may be asking. Well, I looked that word up too and it fits perfectly. This is what dictionary.com had to say about ennui:
Ennui [ahn-wee, ahn-wee; Fr. ahn-nwee] - noun - a feeling of utter weariness and discontent resulting from satiety or lack of interest; boredom.
A new work day has started but I don’t see any relief from my ennui. If this post about the different states of boredom doesn’t let you know how unbearable my place of work is right now, I don’t know what would. But since you are reading yet another post of mine basically about nothing, you also must be in a state of ennui, or at least boredom. I guess you could just be procrastinating too but before I beat this to death I shall end my ramblings. Hopefully, I will be inspired to write something of substance soon but since our “busy” time at work is coming to an end, I wouldn’t hold my breath for anything earth shattering coming from me anytime soon.
