I work in a trading firm as a system admin and during the times that I am here its boring as all hell. I can't touch the systems til 3:00pm CST unless they are messing up so my job is alot of sitting around waiting for stuff to happen. Did I mention I'm here from 7am - 4pm. So I get an effective 1 hour to do anything useful. Even surfing gets boring...hahaha

well, if you're allowed to play games that opens up a whole new can of options. I'd suggest you visit http://www.theunderdogs.org and find yourself some good oldskool game loving. I don't know what genres you enjoy most but I can point you to some good ones if you tell us.

The reason I say older games is because they are small and somewhat easier to hide than more "recent" games.
