Just nodd and smile...
Ahh, boredon, I embrace it knowingly...
For it is that which I am so familiar with. Not with an agonizing feeling of unsatisfaction, rather, a desire to be elsewhere, perhaps with others? Granted, an occupation is just as important as the next thing, but no one would protest to the occasional vacation, holiday, sick day(the ones when you're not really sick), and any other excuse one might give to be MIA at the workplace. No, don't lose your job over it, but take a day off, take a week off. Go hiking, skiing/snowboarding, fishing, whatever. Give something back to yourself, the one that should count first. The one you can depend on. Take care of yourselves. I send my love to all my peeps.
