Cool What do you do when you're bored?

I've just done 5 complete circuits in a row around the workshop pushing an empty trolley, and only one guy noticed Ah, its a boring day, there's no one in so i'm in charge of 2 teams (which currently consist of me, myself, and I), while doing some work for a 3rd team, and adding my figures onto a 4th team's target
I've just spent about 2 hours reading a book with my feet up on the desk, and the only person who noticed is one of the managers, who glanced in, and then walked quickly away muttering "I'm not even going to ask."

Any boring days with nothing to do going on out there? Am I the only one?

It is usually not boring, but if it is boring, I will not show it. I will make myself look busy.

When I am completely bored, I surf. We also have a library connected to our office, so I will also pop in for an interesting book. I get up and take a walk to refresh myself too.

I walked around the whole office squirting water onto the carpet from a bottle. No one noticed.
I took a trolley and went around the whole building 6 times. No one noticed.
I set fire to a small patch of Fluxclene on the floor. One guy noticed and laughed.
Seriously, people are in their own little worlds sometimes

I play computer games and try to score better than my teammates. Then wait for them to score higher then I play again and try to remove their names from the top scorers until they get frustrated not being able to make a record for themselves

Sometimes, we watch TV too

TV? awww I want your job
We have kinda old PCs and not much else in the way of entertainment when there's no work. We usually just end up hitting each other until we're told off!
