re: How to tell your employer you are bored in your job

I see your point. I took that approach last week asking if I could help with additional work and was told to stay on top of invoices which I already and do and finish early.
I used the term "bored" because it's literally the last 4-5 hours of my day with nothing to do but TD and Yahoo Finance. It's not the assigned tasks that I am talking about, it's the lack of things to actually do.

If your situation allows and they seriously won't give you more work, try self-improvement either in your field or another.
Try DuoLingo and learn a language.
Maybe try coding tutorials online, etc.
You will regret not using this time to make yourself, at a minimum, more interesting if not more valuable.

If you have that much free time and management allows you to hide behind your screen, then you need better supervision. I'd seriously start looking for another job, because your current workplace is not well managed and thus will be a dead end for you.
Also be aware that some employers can and do review their employees' internet surfing histories.
Be proactive....can you not think of a single productive thing to do without being directly told to do it? Hell, go tidy the supply closet, or fill the printer/copier with paper, sanitize the phones.....I'd be desperately searching for more tasks as your multitude of free hours does not make you an indispensable employee...it makes you a little needed one.
