Im so bored!!!

If you live in a city near the southern border, go into any Mexican or Central American restaurant, shout "Puercos de inmigracion!" ("Immigration authorities!"), and enjoy the ensuing chaos. Or, slowly drive by places where the illegal day-laborers hang out and pretend that you want to hire one, then drive off.

On second thought, either of the above (the first in particular) could earn you a "chicharron." The ideas presented earlier, conversely, are excellent.

Eveen if you get to drive or get to go to job you will be bored. I am bored, frustated and sad too. I am learning to drive but then every shop close so early and its so difficult to get to places and can`t move freely ....different kinds of fears and threats. I am working and people in work doesn`t talk to me unless they have to ............. as because I am the only different looking person in the organisation. Plus they also laughed and mocked about my name. So i dnt expect anything here !! My total idea of USa was different before i came here,. Every morning i hate to go to work but i have to ...... plus i have tried tried and tried to make friends all over. Here friends are for benefit, my neibors dnt even know me here. Rather in this way I am also get far away from my friends in India .............. they email me and try to call me every other week. My neibors in India write emails to me that they miss me.Social mannersim and scenario here is 1/10. So it does strikes me bad but then i keep my eyes and ear blocked. I am also member of library, gym, video library etc etc but then those does surplus these things. AFter i used to come back from work in India i used to chat with local friends everyday at least an hr before going back home. Plus i loved going to office , though myh job was hectic being a district manager.

I am sorry but i am telling the truth. I am sure many wd agree to me.

My husband had me get a gym membership - it does wonders to fight boredom. It's 34 usd a month, but the best investment so far. I drive there as I brought a car from Canada. My gym is called Lifestyle family fitness, it's casual, people like you and me. You work out, then you feel good and time goes by quickly, you get to lose weight and look better. We go with my husband in the evenings after work and then on his free days, it's like our date night.

I too am looking for work with no luck yet and "gah" I am with the boredom, there is only so much shopping, house/yard work that can be done. I volunteer at a therapeutic riding farm doing all sorts of things a couple days a week which is great. But other than that i kinda hide out on my own. People here are so loud and rude, ladies with big boofy hair, nasty nails, leathery skin, tank tops and shorts, bleh, thats why I avoid the malls and most places in general! I always seem to get in their way unintentionally and piss them off

A good website to check for volunteer work in your area is volunteermatch.com. I found a job on there that matches my interest and previous experience, so it's a good way to build US work experience for your resume, and in some cases it might even lead to a paid position.

Another thing I did to fight boredom is get a bike. It cost me only $79 at walmart, and it gives me a bit more freedom to explore the area since I am not able to drive yet. It helps a lot when you know you can leave the house and don't have to be stuck at home all day.
