    Ok guys...sitting here in work bored off my head...
    Boss is on hols for 2 weeks and I'm taking it easy...
    Only problem is I've read all the news sites as well as the tech sites...
    Spent the last 3 hours reading boards so getting really hard to stay awake now...
    Can't play games so it's reading sites only...

    and before some a-hole says "try working"...I've beaten you to it :D

    Browse boards, read engadget and have a look through flickr. When I'm really bored I'll make an excuse to leave the office and go visit one of the shops.

    That is of course after I've been working extremely hard. :)

    If you are a footy fan you can watch the confederations cup match between Brazil and USA kicking off at three today on the rte site. In fact you can watch rte one and two live from the website at any time of the day.

    I honestly read boards all day. In my 8 hours work about 35 minutes of it is actually spent being productive for the workplace, the rest is all spent online.

    The threatened to cut our broadband usage and 5 people threatened to walk. I don't know how they never kopped on tbh.
