Help...
I don't know what to do. I've been dating my boyfriend for about 5 months now. Only thing is we both work in the same office. We don't often work together but from time to time we do. It is fine when we work together but I am very bored in my job. I find myself calling him lots at work and he has a very strong work ethic and is very busy in his job and so I think I am beginning to irritate him. I am trying to find a new job but it is difficult because I'm in a very specialized field and don't want to move too far away from my boyfriend. I love him very much. I feel like our relationship is wonderful when I'm not irritating him with my boredom at work. I am starting to get quite depressed about my job and now I feel like I am bringing him down. I'm also starting to become paranoid, like when he's busy at work my brain seems to think it's cause he doesn't want to talk to me. I've never been one to call boyfriends when they're at work but I guess since I know he's just downstairs I always feel compelled to call him. What do I do???

If you're that bored and things are no fun, then you can't really be productive and feel like you've had a good day. I suggest either going back to school or looking for another job. If you like to be around people, then sitting alone in an office isn't the ideal situation for you, is it? You may want to be a marketing person, work in a restaurant, be sales rep, work some kind of retail or even become a bartender.
But definetly don't be calling the bf at work, whether you work in the same building or not.
