This is a question Workplace Boredom

There's got to be more to your working day than loafing around the internet, says tfi049113. How do you fill those long, empty desperate hours?

Back in Sheffield
I used to work for a now renamed Government department while on Student placement and I used to work really hard. Most of the time.

Some days, however, were taken over completely by "hang" time. By "hang" time, I really mean "hang-OVER" time - the local management would turn a blind eye to myself and Scott being usually face down on keyboards or desks on certain days as they knew our social life plans quite well.

(Apart from when we had actual work to do, in which case it would get done)

My desk used to be a recognised disaster area with many reams of paper strewn all over it - one time after a morning nap after a seriously late night (I'm not sure that I even made it home TBH) - I woek up with my head having been buried under a massive pile of papers - naturally, I sat bolt upright, scattered paper everywhere and that was the point when senior management happened to be doing a walk-through :)

Well, they were paying me slightly less than minimum wage....
