    These are things that rarely ever occur.

    But what do you do during quiet periods at work? Say, if you've caught up on a backlog of things that you needed to do, and there is nothing else major happening.

    I know I've probably just jinxed it now and it's gonna be hectic for the rest of the day...

    I usually walk aimlessly around the office, with a bunch of papers in my hand - pretend to be absorbed in the material, then sigh loudly every ten seconds or so..
    Stops anybody asking me to do anything.:pac:

    I like to make sure the small amount of work I actually have to do is done at such a slow pace that I have always got something to do and dont have to suffer Quiet periods...

    Yea, there's the blatant Fap.

    Thats where you stand up ontop of your desk,
    Drop your trousers,
    and fap away.

    There's bonus points if you can do it while holding a picture of a co-workers wife, or finishing in the photocopier manual feed tray.

    This might end up getting you fired, and possibly psychologically assessed..
    But it's bloody funny..

    Well at least you're having a quiet one. Nothing worse than women going on and on loudly about how bad their cramps and that while I'm trying to get some work done.
