I know plenty of us are bored at our cubicles day in and day out....I mean you can only browse/reply to the forums for so long...then look at the news...then see what prices are on stuff...I just literally watched all of Bruce Almighty at my desk for the last hour and a half :Q but then im still left wiht nothing to do for loooong periods of time stuck in my little corner cubicle...
Actual working could be an option...but alas there is nothing right now to do except comment code (web designer/application builder) which only takes like half a brain and is on the second monitor right now :/ I dont mind getting paid to do nothing but wasting time is hard to do when you've run outta stuf to do except post threads like this :D

Think of something to do. I just changed a web page of ours to list ten entries per page rather than all the entries on the first page. That list was getting long.

I used to hate being in your position at my old job...being bored, never having work, yet getting paid....now I realize how much of a blessing it was.

Actively search for something to do, or go home. No sense wasting your employer's money when you're not doing anything. I mean, it's not like I do that, nor do I encourage my underlings to do that either. :p

Normally take my pants off, wear them on my head and go around harassing all the interns claiming than I am the last alien of my kind and need to propagate myself

Or better yet, peep over the edge of one and keep staring at the peon below, and see how long it takes them to notice and as soon as they do, drop back out of sight in a flash and act as if nothing happened...

But you need to tell the other person, "I can smell you brain" when you sit down...

It's a blessing and I realize it. I'm overpaid for my qualifications and underworked for what I'm payed.

Thank you god.

Play Music and DL/Watch pr0n on your Dual Monitor. Imagine the possibilities...

My job is about the same, stuck in the back of the office next to my boss's office sitting there doing bits and peices of work for them.

Back then when we had cool co-workers it used to be fun, they all got fired and now we have these old boring pple.
