Top 7 Reasons Illinoisans Find Themselves Bored At Work

I dread waking up for work because it's at the butt crack of dawn.  Other Illinoisans would say they don't look forward to the boredom that comes with their job.

Majority of people go to work, get their job done, and can't wait to clock out.  I'm fortunate enough to be in a work environment that allows me to explore my creative side, surround myself with like-minded people, and never have to watch the time slowly pass by.  That sounds awful.

Whether I'm brainstorming, staying up-to-date on the latest celebrity news, or writing blogs like this, there's always something to keep my mind busy and stimulated.  For others, that is not always the case.
