  1. This work is tedious.
    Letters and numbers than letters again.
    Its slowly killing me.
    Its okay to talk about it.
    Killing yourself that is.
    its a healthy normal thing
    that society says is wrong
    just like being bored
    its okay to be bored
    in a tedious world

  2. In a final effort, he dragged himself up the stairs to grab the last box. “Who would have kept many beanie babies,” he asked himself. They were getting heavier with each trip. “Must’ve been some psycho,” he concluded. Move-in day was harder than expected.

  3. “Isn’t it getting tedious for you too?” I voice the question I have been thinking for weeks. “All this running around, pretending not to care too much?”

  4. “Long and hard.”
    “That’s what she said.”
    “That’s not funny, you know. This is an actually really tedious thing to do to people and you should really reconsider your options.”
    “That’s STILL what she said.”

  5. My brain seems to circle the drain, but never actually do down the drain. The circling is tedious. I’m tired. I want to stop the cycle and get off the ride. I want a fresh start. Positive thoughts.

  6. Tedious. This was yesterday’s word. Why the repeat? Is this the cosmos trying to tell me something? That I am tedious? That people think I am tedious? If so, they would be right, I’m sure.

  7. I’m here trying to fan myself. It is insanely hot in the Asia, and the power is out because of heavy storming. I’m not happy with a lot of things, in fact, a lot of little things seem tiresome. I want to say TEDIOUS ha. ha. ha. no, but not really, the little things seem exhausting. But I’m okay with the way things are now. In fact, things have never been better.

  8. It is tedious to navigate through a crowd of socially empowered people without feeling embarrassed or scared.

  9. the time is tedious
    slowly slowing sloping down
    teach moment taking longer
    than the last
    curled like a frown ground
    smile turned upside-down
    those moments are frozen in time
    like a reason without a crime
    like a sadness without a rhyme
    bordem is the enemy of the mind

  10. greediness is tedious
    the warring are boring
    and nothing is more dull
    than those who drop a perfectly good discourse to give an unwanted earful

  12. My life is tedious. I do the same things over and over, and nothing holds meaning. In this life, there is nothing that fuels my soul, feeds my passions…or even ignites them. Tedious is the only word to describe the monotony of being alive.

  13. the sun lays upon me

    warming what was numb

    I dreamt you

    until the darkness faded

    and as I moved mechanically

    through the cottage

    out onto the high porch

    patches of dreamt-you

    kept running through me

    like cold water

    shocks from a showerhead

    know this,

    if you rained on me

    then I have stood by the fire

    but I am chilled

    I shiver

  14. The old black wooden slats banged against the siding. From that sound, Angie and Mick were hiding. They holed up in the corner of their room in the house just across the street from old Mr. Foreman’s. They knew his old ghost haunted the place.

  15. I already did this word, so I’m bored. This writing is becoming a drag, even as I finish this sentence. Slowly pouring, like milassas it falls (and screw misspellings, I’ve only got sixty seconds). Break the block. Unstop.

    Ben
  16. With dry and splitting hands, the worker-bee grounds keeper tore out ferns like old and dead hairs from a corpse. His eyes drifted up the hills cascading down from the mansion for moments at a time, until he cursed himself for looking, and returned to his numb work.

  19. The work was incredibly tedious: a bit of paint here, a dab of water there. But the end result was worth it. Miles of painted landscape, as far as the eye could see.

  20. All this work is always so tedious
    if only we could search all in an instant encyclopedia

    living life in a tedium

  21. The stacked up books on her arms felt tedious. When was this over? She was so tired. What was this. She has been walking forever. She was so exhausted.

  22. The stacked up books on her arms were heavy. Her backpack was filled with even more books. Was she there yet? She felt tedious.

  23. God, this line was hell. How could a daily trip to Starbucks become so terrible? A chance to get out of the office. He should be living for this. No, a tedious journey across the street was probably going to ruin this job for him.

    Jackie
  24. Tedious things can be therapeutic for me. I know the term is generally used with negative connotations, but sometimes all I really want is something complicated and time consuming to focus on. My brain spends most of its time jumping from one thought to the next without rhyme or reason, but when I find something complicated enough to require my focus I feel at peace.

  25. Long days, staring at a blank blinking screen. Ones and zeros, ones and zeros, ones and… a sliver of sunlight, high above, streaming in from a tiny window. What is that sound? A bird? How long has it been?

  26. it’s sluggish. it’s stifling. it’s a stab in the stomach. it’s looking into the future and seeing only a haze, a blur, the air so hot it steals your breath away. it’s the boredom and fear wrapped up in one.

  27. Every tedious ritual of the workday feels all the more insufferable this morning. How does one do this for a lifetime?

  28. I didn’t mind my job, honestly. Sure, the work was occasionally tedious, and spending all that time in a cubicle did quite a deal of damage to my already out of shape back. But my coworkers were nice, and my boss had a good head on her shoulders. I worked 9 to 5, Monday to Friday, and felt a sense of normalcy. I hadn’t felt that in a while.

    Of course, that was before my brother called me from prison.

    Belinda Roddie
  29. My work seemed tedious, then i saw the people working at assembly lines and thought how is my work tedious compared to them. Life is all about perspective or not

  30. She rolled her eyes and craned her neck to the ceiling. This was horrible. It was so impossible to communicate with him. She did all of the typical signs that showed annoyance.

  31. She was good with details and had a great memory, so she was good with tedious projects. However, the tediousness eventually drove her crazy and made her want to jump off a bridge (attached to a bungee cord).

  32. Sitting at the machine, I prepared myself for the day ahead. What story would I tell myself today as I sewed 300 pairs of shoes? Perhaps that one with the knight…

  33. i want this domain name for my IT project :) thank you that’s it i want to say

  34. It felt a million threads of doubt, contempt, self-assurance, positivity (in the smallest dosage), utter dissenting voices radiating, emanating sharply in her mind. Nothing ever comes easy. She would have to endure her first gruelling Whipple operation, all it took were eight-nine hours to remove the tumour from the pancreatic cancer-stricken patient who was admitted in the wee hours. Metastases (mets) were not found, and they promptly relayed him to surgical ops. She was only an attending, but the repercussions were real. Her feet silently ached in anticipation.

  35. All those jokes about players dropping like flies got tedious. They were not even logical. Flies could FLY after all, hey there were even named according to their favourite activity. So all those droppings were rather dropping like stones.

  36. ‘If ever there was a need for strong drink it is now,’ she said. ‘This is tedious and will be unrewarding. I want it to end.’

    ‘Would the promise of strong drink be enough?’ He turned and watched her grasping at the boulders as she climbed behind him. He was panting with the effort, but the exercise ad the feel of his blood roaring through his veins buoyed him up, only made him want to go faster. ‘You will enjoy it more if it is earned.’

  37. tedious
    ouroboros
    endless
    a smile frowned curved upside down
    a sigh
    a simple question
    when will this end
