What do you do when you're bored at work?

You are reading it...

 

I hang out with the Macrumors forum crowd, at least recently. Before discovering this wonderful resource I tended to walk around and bother other people, so they're probably happy I'm now doing this.

 

I usually leave to "work at home". Unfortunately, lately, I've actually had to work at home.

listen to music, read macrumors... talk to people online.... fun stuff

 

If it weren't for the Internet, I could singlehandedly raise the company's productivity.

 

When I am bored at work, I go to Macrumors. This is doubly nice for me because I can reduce my boredom and try to forget that I am using a PC at work all at the same time. If I am bored but dont want to keep looking at the computer I go out to the seawall and enjoy looking at Diamond head and the surfers doing their thing. (I guess living in Hawaii is good for something! )

 

While bored at my summer job at a local grocery store, I calculated the average productivity of the self-checkout lanes. I was curious if they do 'take away jobs from humans'. I found that since there always has to be an attendant, and the system is inherently slower than a regular checker, and most people go even slower, that it actually requires an additional 40 hours a week of worker hours to have the system in operation opposed to just having regular stations.

Bolt up from my chair and howl at the top of my lungs while ripping my shirt off.

 

I take naps. When I worked in a cubicle, I would go sleep in my car. When I worked in my own office, I would lock the door and crawl under my desk so no one could see me. Now I work at home, so I just sprawl out on the couch.

 

I keep a tennis ball in my desk for bouncing off the ceiling when boredom strikes on a morning. On an afternoon I only have to stand up and say 'I could really murder a beer right now' and the entire office ends up in the pub. It's a surefire fix for boredom

 

Mainly I just surf Macrumors as well... Either that or im poluting the inneroffice chat with useless nonsense.. lol

 

As a professional pilot I find it hard to do the traditional things, bounce a ball, murder a beer, surf da web, but I can catch some shut eye!!!!!

This summer I avg. working 1.5 days a week, thank the lord I'm salaried.

I fly in 25 minutes, preflight done, so I thought I would checkin here.

Now your reading it. Coffee and a dump are the alternate choices for me.

 

macrumors, newgrounds, or a game

 

You're looking at it...

Now back to work

I gun paperclips at my co-worker's glass of water. She detests it, but is very competitive so we have a little war. It's amazing how good you can get with a little practice, and a lot of time.

 

lol
we usually just twist them into caltrops, and throw them at each other, trying to get them on the seat before someone sits. it's a tad dangerous, but fun.

 

caltrops?!?
