Things to do when horribly bored at work!

Here's some things for all you cubicle-dwellers out there that, like me, are horribly horribly bored at work:

- Bounce around on a bouncey-ball
- See how many rounds you can take on your office-chair before barfing
- Build a Paperclip-house
- Cover every inch of your desk with those yellow stickie-notes
- Sing Slipknot's Wait and Bleed like a cow would (i.e. Moo the song)
- Randomly boot servers just for the hell of it
- Build a house of pens, paperclips and Yellow Stickie-notes.

Feel free to add to this list.

- Sing the Bar of Soap song, trying your best to emulate the Epicine, Uber, and Yxxil parts

- Sing the Gir Doom song as high-pitched as you can

- Belch loudly and constantly (Cherry Pepsi works wonders to promote this activity)

- Convince co-workers to play AO. Even if it means you agree to try their MMOG of choice as well. (Can't believe I have to play this old piece of junk, but at least it's free...I'll call it research)

-practice your drunken walking ability for Tarryk and Veldron drinking games: http://www.wagenschenke.ch/

-Do some stretches, it's good for you! http://www.shelterpub.com/_fitness/_stretching_in_the_office/online_stretches.html

-One word! Flatulence! (If it gets too bad, Flatulence Deoderizer http://www.flat-d.com/ "NOW I don't have to worry about what I eat!")

And many more...!

- Cluck any 50 Cent, Eminime, Dr. Dre, Wu-Tang, Old Dirty Bastard, Jay-Z song

- Pull out two glowsticks and rave... with no music

- Humm a theme song for any person whom passed by your desk (i.e. if the boss passes by hum the Empire March song from Star Wars)

- Every Minutes and 30 seconds sneeze for an hour, then cunvulse.

LOL that reminds me of one I saw in one of those emailed lists:

-- Walk into a coworker's office and stand there for a moment, staring at them and not saying anything. As soon as their mouth opens to inquire what you're doing, reach over and calmly start flicking their office light on and off really fast. Hold the stare.

-Page yourself over the intercom. (Don't disguise your voice.)

-Put up mosquito netting around your cubicle, and play a CD with tropical birds and insect noises.

-Every time someone asks you to do something, ask him or her if they want fries with that

-Put decaf in the coffeemaker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over his or her caffeine addictions, switch to expresso.

-Skip everywhere you go.

-Leave the copy machine set to reduce 200%, extra dark 17-inch paper, 99 copies

-Finish all your sentences with the words "in accordance with prophecy."

-Sit in your the car park at lunch time pointing a hair dryer at passing cars to see if they slow down.

OMG these are too fantastic not to laugh at okay. . . .here are my adds. . .


Bring a scrabble board to work and spell antidisastablishmentarianism, make photo copies and add them to the office memos. . . .

Bring a goldfish and but it in the water cooler. . . .

Go into the bathroom and flush all the toilets then walk out whistling "Whistle While you work" . . . .

Make a teepee out of two office chairs and your jacket and light a bunch of sticky notes on fire under it, dance around, and tell people you're asking the spirits why the fax machine is always jammed. . . .

Make people freak out by reinacting the scene from the Matrix when Neo gets a visit at work from the Agents. . . .

Do the same as above but sing the Theme song from Mission Impossible and sneak around corners with "gun hands". . . .

Call your boss over to your cubical using the intercom and asking "could I see you in my office?" . . . .

More intercom fun : Get a copy of the Hampster Dance and blare it over the intercom. . . .

:D

-- Using bluprinting and company resources, spend several months designing a fully automatic rubber band shooter.

-- Build two, walk in, go postal.

Rubberband Akimbo, I like that. It would go good with the Agents-visiting-Neo scene. That is, if he didn't try to jump out the window like a wuss and made imaginary guns out of nothingness because he's the awesome one and kicked total agent butt.

- During one of your co-workers lunch breaks/bathroom breaks/etc turn everything on his desk upside down, including the chair he sits in.

- Get a few co-workers together and begin to play the Office Version of the Apprentice

- Pretend to be Terry Tate for a day.

Hold your breath till you pass out...

Make flatulating sounds with your arm pits...

Flip your eyelids and try to keep a straight face while speaking with a co-worker... :twisted:

Grab a handful of rubberbands and begin making ponytails all over your head until you run out of hair, then run around screaming like a young schoolgirl saying "I'm Pippi Longstalking today" (you've got the red hair *shrugs* why not? :P).

Just had to put my two cents in,

Joany :wink:

If you're a motorsports-nut like me, you can also head on http://www.rallyfanclub.hu/downloads.php?action=show_cat&cat_id=5 and get yourself four half-hour compilation of crashes (All non-fatal).

Be warned, though, these are HUGE files (500mb plus). Might not be popular to choke the lines at work with the downloads.
