how do you entertain yourself in your office

Nightshiftguy

Ok Ok no need for vulgarities!!!!

I'm in work with nothing to do yet again. I have my own office! Its about 12ft by 12ft any ideas what i can do..

Or tell us what do you do?

HOw do you keep sane.. Or are you all in high pressure hi turnover jobs? Unlike me?

I find someone with an ear to jammer in.

Dragan

I work in an open office, so there are about 50 of us scattered about the place.

Entertainment normally involves pulling various pranks on each other or playing American football with left over Easter Eggs like last week.

You could built some kind of fort and play army or dolphin olympics on the net.

There's numerous ways to pass the day/avoid doing work.

1. Boards.ie

2. The sending/receiving of funny/dirty emails between colleagues and those in other offices (then posting them in Lolocaust)

3. Create a Trophy Manager team. There's a boards forum dedicated to it. I do a lot of my wheeling and dealing while in work.

4. www.betfair.com

5. Snoop on Bebo/myspace/Facebook using God's gift to the office worker - a proxy.

6. Check out all the hotties around you.

7. Listen to the oul iPod

8. Take an hour long dump

In my new job not much really, da interweb as I'm on my own 80% time.

However in my old job, sellotape reinforced paper balls as projectiles. For stealth water on the old swivel chairs or even staples bent straight to work as spikes for the chairs too. Failing that anyones unlocked computer sends amorous emails to the more attractive and indeed somewhat less attractive female members of staff. Taking customer care's calls off hold and placing them through to an unrelated department. Sigh...... the good old days. Any one wonder why our department got closed down?

Also this game is quality, nooone of us could beat level 6 after months of trying.
