Recently I met a former co-worker in the hardware store in which I used to work.
She had come out of retirement, and re-applied at the hardware (at the minimum hiring wage) part-time. No benefits. "I got bored at home," she told me with a rueful twist to her mouth.
Bored. BORED? How the heck did she have the leisure to get BORED?
Amid my consternation at her answer, all I could mumble was, "I haven't got to that point yet."
BORED?????

My mom always said, "You say you're bored - I'll find something for you to do" which meant weeding, cleaning or some other scullery maid sort of work. I doubt I will ever use that word. I completely understand!
