Alright, I work for a pretty good sized company, I'm the VP of Operations Executive Assistant, and he's.... hardly ever here. So I rarely have work to do, and I'm currently falling asleep at my desk. I've already reorganized my office three times in the past two weeks, and I've put together an excel sheet of all the companies I use (electric, water, etc) with my account number, when the bill is due.. etc. I put together a vehicle maintenence spreadsheet and have done a bunch of other random stuff. I thought about playing Sodoku or something, but I don't know whats worse... sleeping on the clock or playing games on the clock?

I used to take naps in the bathroom. I learned to bring a heavy sweatshirt to sit on after awhile however as my damned legs/feet would fall asleep from sleeping on the shitter.

Nothing wrong with playing games on the clock in my opinion. Either you've got work to do or you don't.

Beeing that I worked primarily in security, I'd vote against sleeping, despite the stereotype... The company I worked for fired anyone caught sleeping, so eh, not an option. If you need a game to carry you through, try this suprisingly challenging 3d pong variant, made by some college kids.

Haha, cant sleep in the bathroom, Patients go in there too, it's not private. Games it is then, I can at least look busy if I'm playing a game at least.

Yeah I always had some VB and or SQL pages up to quickly alt-f4 out of my games into in case the VP or owner waltzed in.

Shit I used to play Star Wars Galaxies at work all damned day. Played online poker a lot as well.

I tried SWG, but the lag made it unplayable :(
Was literally lagging every step.

I didn't have lag problems but they really fucked up what could have been a great game.

Hell I had 5 active accounts at one time.

Enroll in online courses and use the down time at work to study and do homework.

Thought about that earlier, started looking at online courses I can take at my own pace. I'm not sure how long I'll be 'bored' at work. I have the feeling it will start picking up pace very soon, we have four new offices and two surgery centers opening within the next 6 months. Which means we will also have a dozen or so new Doctors, and that creates spreadsheets for me. :)

Games are a much better option. Only sleep if you are certain you won't get caught.
