    I don't work, but I do sit at my desk a lot during the day. I spend a lot of my time on the piss, doing little doodles (Batemanesque) and reading thrashy novels, making endless cups of coffee and throwing stuff around the room.

    One two guys in my works used to play, i never bothered as was **** at films:
    Name two actors, you have to connect them by linking through films for example. Catherine Zeta Jones and Tom Hanks, Catherine was in Oceans 12 with Julia Roberts who was in Charlies Wilsons war with Tom Hanks. When they used to do it they could have linked through 10 films or so, but you could give it a go anyway.
    We used to play that in school.
    We had to make one rule to make the game challenging; you can't use Samuel L Jackson.

    That guys been in a movie with every actor ever.

    Eh, there's nobody else in the room. My
    desk is in my attic. It's my office, but I don't do any actually work in there. Oh and I tend to throw cum st the walls.

    So I work in a factory, doing the same repetitive job all day. We have the radio playing, and that's about it. No phones, or ipods allowed. It is automated work, standing in front of a machine.

    It is unbelievably boring, does anybody have any interesting ways to pass the time?

    Sometimes we play I-spy, other times noughts and crosses (we have to wait for dust to form on the machine first).

    So your job is basically to stand?

    We used to race pallet trucks around like a skateboard.

    Basically stand on the left prong and get some speed up with your right foot just like a skateboard.

    You can use the steering wheel to obviously steer.
    If you build up enough speed and turn fast the wheels should also rip up the floor.

    Don't forget to launch your work colleague into some sort of triangular display of paint or something along those lines.

    and get paid for it........

    awesome times.....

    I just sit in my seat, listen to the radio and look out the windows non stop. There's a great view from my office most of time. It's bit noisy though. So I wear a ear protection also cool sunglasses. I'm not allowed to leave my seat while I'm working so it can get quite uncomfortable. Even though it can be a dangerous job I'm really badly paid. It's a bit repetitive with lots of ups and downs but I rarely get bored. So I don't need to play games to stay interested.

    There are worse jobs let me tell you. I've had a few.

    I used to race up and down nearly empty containers on a pallet truck. The idea is to swerve at the last second before you flew out the door. Even better the noise inside the container was incredible like a jet.

    300 times an hour = every 12 seconds? Ouch! Long enough to drive you nuts, but too short to do much while you wait.

    Are you allowed pen and paper? Get some cheap notebooks and pens, and write in between. Write whatever comes in to your head. Make up stories, characters, events, disasters, whatever. After a few months, you'll have enough raw material to let you start writing a book.
