bored at work?

  • Okay guys. I just got a cubicle job, my first ever! Yay me. And I am finding that the down time at this job - not a lot but when it's down it's DOWN- is really boring. I cannot think of anywhere online to go. I'm bored outta my skull. I know there are other cube chicks out there. Any suggestions for me? I have looked at EVERYTHING on this damn site. It's the only one I go to.
    Thanks chicks,

  • There are a tons of games that you can play on www.lycos.com
  • www.jigzone.com
    you can put together puzzles online. I do the daily puzzle.
  • you might try going to www.bored.com thats pretty much what i do on down time at work
  • Here is a game I play all the time... not at work, cause that'd get me fired, lol, but it's totally addictive!

    Alchemy
  • I normally catch up on emails. Or pay my bills. Or when you have been there long enough, start cleaning out the large amount of junk I have amassed in my desk.
  • I research dumb stuff. Once I found a whole slew of schizophrenics that kept on-line journals. That kept me busy for an afternoon. Sometimes I'll watch the news and they're reference something interesting and I'll make a mental note to look up when I get to work. When I had a real cube job, I used to spend a lot of time writing. The stories I would come up! All bitter and angry and had something to do with me jumping out of the 14th story window (in case you're worried, the windows were locked ).
  • Wow - I'm jealous. I don't have time to do any of that stuff at work. Not to mention we can't access any site with games and now we can't access our personal email. Lunch is about the only time I can do stuff anymore.

    Come work with me. We need the help.
  • We're not allowed personal mail, and I haven't tried any games yet so I'm not sure on that either. All I know is down time is only a couple of minutes, not long enough to start really reading or anything... just long enough to feel like you should be doing something else.
