Well, this might be something similar.
I don't do boredom well at all. It makes me cranky. So sometimes, when I am in a situation where I am very bored with what is going on around me I try to imagine how I would turn it all into a scene in a film - what I would keep, what I would omit, what I could stretch and alter to make it more interesting. This definitely helps me cope with being bored.
