Things to do in a boring office environment
 
1. Kneel in front of the water cooler and drink directly from the nozzle (there must be a 'non-player' within sight).

Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same outfits. Always wear them one day after your boss does. (This is especially effective if your boss is a different gender than you are.)

jon boy 01.16.2007 07:34 AM

;) make use of the photocopier.

porkmarras 01.16.2007 07:35 AM

Ring your friends and family
Look for other jobs

porkmarras 01.16.2007 07:36 AM

If i really want to entertain myself i'll tell the person on the phone that i can't hear them very well so they'll have to shout like idiots.

compulsive diarrhea, jico 01.16.2007 07:44 AM

chair running.

porkmarras 01.16.2007 07:44 AM

If they are irritating,i'll leave silent gaps in the conversation so they panic because they don't know if i'm still on the line.I do that when people are being rude.hehe

Tokolosh 01.16.2007 07:44 AM

Bring a pile your latest cd's, including music software and make a mixtape for your sonic buddies. (Have the nerve to upload it at work, 'cause they normally have faster connections than at home.)

porkmarras 01.16.2007 07:45 AM

Humming.

compulsive diarrhea, jico 01.16.2007 07:50 AM

burn something just to use a fire extinguisher.

Decorate your office with pictures of Phil Collins.

porkmarras 01.16.2007 07:56 AM

I like talking with PR's for VIP people because they are normally female and very witty.

compulsive diarrhea, jico 01.16.2007 08:00 AM

sex.

porkmarras 01.16.2007 08:04 AM

If my female cover is in the office with me,i'll help her learn the scripts for whatever play or movie she is going to be in and we'll have a right laugh putting on voices.If my male cover is in the office with me,he will tell me all about his girlfriend for hours.

Also a good one. I didn't use it as much as I should when I was actually employed. I still have a photocopy of my arm and hand.

compulsive diarrhea, jico 01.16.2007 08:10 AM

build a cabin.

Ah, this is like a trip down memory lane for me. Except with vending machine Kenco coffee (the tea was awful).

jon boy 01.16.2007 08:17 AM

^yes never drink the 'soup' from any of those mahines. i am glad that a kitchen exists here.

short of the usual wastes of time (mine sweeper, salitaire etc) i generally slack as much as possible.

just be thankful your not one of these folks: http://www.idler.co.uk/crap/

ALIEN ANAL 01.16.2007 08:23 AM

ring up someone but start the conversation from the end and work backwards, its really hard and gets nowhere

ALIEN ANAL 01.16.2007 08:40 AM

i guess i better be going now, it was nice talking

ALIEN ANAL 01.16.2007 08:40 AM

sheesh its kind of late isnt it

ALIEN ANAL 01.16.2007 08:45 AM

whats the time over there?

Inhuman 01.16.2007 08:50 AM

It's 8:40am here. Too early for my liking

I had a lot of fun running up the photocopier and printer in my class. We have a plotter that can print huge posters, and it gave birth to half the pictures on my wall. Thing is, I came in yesterday morning and noticed a '$' icon on the toolbar and it gave me the tooltěp 'Account balance: $48.60'. I was dissapointed.

One of the things I enjoy doing in a boring setting is just stare at people, and if they notice you, keep staring with a blank face. It usually makes them feel really awkward

ALIEN ANAL 01.16.2007 08:55 AM

did you just ruin it inhuman? lol :D

jon boy 01.16.2007 09:01 AM

online quizes are good and i have tested my iq a few times as well. i am a genius incase you are wondering.

compulsive diarrhea, jico 01.16.2007 09:03 AM

porkmarras 01.16.2007 09:03 AM
