Wanna submit an article or video to Executive Bored? This is the place. First, choose what kind of article you want to write.

Departments

Acquisitions	Stuff you bought online during work. There's no better way to kill time at work than shopping for crap you don't need online. Post your most recent e-purchase so others can follow in your e-footsteps.
Best Practices	Workplace advice and how-to guides Navigating office culture is a tough task, but we all pick up skills to make the company work for us. Explain one of your favorite techniques, whether it’s how to use the color copier to print out fliers for your booze bash or how to sneak food out of meetings you weren’t invited to. Use illustrations if possible.
Firewalled Video	Viral video time-wasters. Your boss doesn't want you watching Youtube at work. But you do anyway. Post your current favorite videos to our archive and vote for your favorites.
Inbox Highlights	Wonderful and absurd internal e-mails. You just got an e-mail from your boss with the subject: “Big Danglers.” It’s a note about the unanswered questions from today’s meeting, but your gutter mind tells you it has another meaning. Got a hilarious office e-mail that just popped up? Drop it here.
Loudspeaker	Music that makes the office bearable. You’re supposed to be listening to that conference call, but instead you’re secretly scouring MySpace for the next big band no one has heard of. Write a review of the latest group that’s got you nodding your head to the beat instead of nodding off to sleep.
Smoke Break	Work stories. We all need to vent about work every once in a while. So do it someplace where the audience knows your pain. Like the cancer stick itself, this is your stress reliever. Post gripes on anything from your dead-end job to your brain-dead boss. Post 'em if you got 'em.
Tech Support	Video games you can play on the job. You should be doing calculations but the only numbers you want to crunch is the new high score on Snood. Post your favorite online games so that those looking to make their 9 to 5 move a little faster have a support group.
General Article	Got an idea that doesn't fit into any of these buckets? Kick it off here. If it's on topic and enough people vote for it, you just might wind up on the front page.
