Workplace Boredom
There's got to be more to your working day than loafing around the internet, says tfi049113. How do you fill those long, empty desperate hours?

Best Job Ever...
I used to work for a company, lovingly monikered 'Crapita' by Private Eye, and boy, were they crap (or good, in my eyes!).
We used to play Desk Cricket. Pretty simple really. 2 or more players are needed. 1 batter, 1 bowler, and several fielders if required (depending on how obvious you want to be). Toss a coin to decide who bats first. The person opposite the batter will bowl a ball of scrunched up paper to the batter wielding a florescent marker of choice. Pre-set boundaries are key, for 4's and 6's (We used to use the nearest printers either side of us). Runs were made by spinning around on your chair (If you have a generic office chair that is!). This was a popular game, due to the amount of time The Management© used to spend licking each others ring pieces in the boardroom.
Stupidly, they also installed two pool tables in our break out area. Stupidly, seen as we set up a pool league for nearly the whole office, and spent many an extended lunch playing up there. Alas, a few of us did get a rollicking for spending 3 hours up there on day whilst The Management© were on a first aid training course for the day, and some twunt dobbed us in.
