If you have an 8-5 Mon.- Fri. job and did the same thing everyday (answer phones, enter data in computer etc.) and became really bored with it, what would you do?

Ask your boss for more responsibilities. It will also be good for you in the long run if you are intending working for the same employer.

I have a "regular" job.... same two days off a week, work the same hours, do the same stuff day in and day out, so I understand your frustration. I would listen to what one person said.... it could be worse. I'd rather be bored all day than over-worked and stressed out. I do a lot of stuff at work in my down time that keeps me busy: I pay my bills, I make dinner menus (not real menus, just write what I plan on making) for the week, look up dream houses and dream cars, answer questions on yahoo... I do stay completely bored though, as you do. So, I do things outside of work to make me not as bored.... I go to the gym for an hour at luch so I don't have to stay in the break room, I play softball Monday and Wednesday nights, and when I get really bored at work, I ask my boss for extra stuff to do....
Things could be worse.... you could be jobless.

Try looking for something else. What else would you like to do? With those skills there most be other jobs around you could apply for.Keep looking, something will turn up.
Try something you've never done or thought you would do......Good luck..........I know what a boring job is like.

Improve your social life and interests outside the office, if the job pays well.
If you absolutely hate it, look for another job.
Attitude is about 90% of everything.

when I'm bored.. I go to i-am-bored.com
I'm a maid where I work tho.. no time to get bored cause i have to work to fast, not even time to think much.
Could always get a new job tho =p, or something that you always wanted to do and interests you.

Get a hobby, sport or extra outlet in your life.
Be thankful that your job does not consume you; things could be different.

Look for job placement agencies. They will look for positions for you and may come up with something you'd want to interview for.

if you are bored with your job it is time to move on to another one, you will never be happy where you work now. you will begin to hate being there..
