Default killing time at work

yah ive got a pretty dull job. So far the number 1 way to kill time has been socialdiscussion.com. Anyone else have any ideas?
Do you play any office games, invent your own? I am allowed to listen to music, and I do have alot of freedom, but i have to sit in a chair in front of a computer supervising clients who use the computer lab. Cant really play games, public learning environment..ideas???? How do you kill time at work?


oh crap, i looked at the clock.

Default Re: killing time at work

I usually read slashdot. I make the window very small and I always have about ten million other things open so none of the titles on the taskbar are readable. (Just in case someone is standing over my shoulder looking at what other programs I have open.) If I know no one is going to be around for a while I play jigsaw puzzles from puzzlehouse.com.

When I can't do any of that and I'm still really, really bored... I find actual work to do. Sucks when that happens.

I had a temporary job over the summer, and I took my Walkman so I could listen to the radio in my lunch break or other times when I wasn't working. (Manual work, so I needed to be concentrated and my task and talking to others)

You could always do some work.

I think that depends on the Job.

My job is checking stuff of my subordinates (is this the right word? sounds military) and calculating stuff.

I would clean the floor or something but it's already so clean you could eat off it.

So half of the time I'm just surfing or chatting.


And when I'm travelling for work it's usually just sightseeing and again checking some numbers...

Julian
