So I usually just stare at my desk, and when I do, I find myself slipping into a dream-state you describe. But for me, it is more of a nightmare-daydream. When my mind aimlessly wanders I tend to think about bad things happening, or just feelings of depression. I don't know what you can do... but I'm right there with you.

Are you working my job?! Oh my gosh, I have the same thing! I come in at 8 in the morning, my work is usually finished by 9 or 10 at the latest, and then 95% of the time, I am left sitting alone at my desk doing absolutely nothing until it is time to leave! I also have to be here in case something comes in...and 5% of the time it does...but I also end up in this state that you are talking about.

I wish I knew what to do! I lurk about PC which helps, but my eyes get tired after a while! I mean I am grateful that my job is almost completely stress-free, and grateful I have a job, but man, it is so hard sometimes not doing anything...I have even created little projects for myself, but there are only so many of those before there is nothing left to do!

Thinking of you today, as you are probably experiencing this right now!
