So, out of boredom today at work (your tax dollars at work, BTW) I decided to trace my pup's lineage for awhile.
I probably learned more than I need to know (or even understand).
There are 29 male dogs on her sire's side separating her from V Horand von Grafrath.
Lord vom Gleisdreieck pops up twice, once in the third generation on the sire's side (which I knew), but I didn't know that he also pops up in the seventh generation on the dam's side.
Greif vom Felsenstein is in there on the sire's side.
I was also prompted to learn what the heck "zuerkannt" means (still not 100% sure, though).
Really quite a waste of an afternoon, and now my head hurts.
Anyone else ever bore yourself so thoroughly?

Clearly, you weren't in the Army long enough.
Desk banishment is painful, at best.

Sorry you are having a rough time of desk duty Alyssa~ you have my sympathy.
Reminds me of when I spent days on end detailing bathrooms in autocad... I think that must be the worst for Architects.
Hope you find something to perk you up soon-

I've been to the DMV before the age of iPhones and hand-held internet access. I was also stuck at the Sao Paulo airport with a bacterial intestinal infection for 8 hours with no money and nothing to read.
I've been REALLY bored, but never that bored at work. And I have to be one of the worlds most easily bored and impatient people. Then again, I've never been in the military
Sounds like you had the WWW at your disposal, at least

How about Comet or Ajax. That may have saved a little labor.

Maybe I'm GSD ignorant but is that anything like a Bacon number?

I'd pay to be bored!
The grass is always greener on the other side......
Then again, I thought your day sounded well spent.
Does this make me the most boring person in the world???

I have. Bernd L is in Caleb's 7th gen, Beowulf in 18, Horand in 19 & 20. I wasn't so much bored as curious though, which I think makes me a nerd.
