What tricks do you use to get you through the mind numbing boredom of working?

Alt:
What the fuck is wrong with you? No really. Go and look in the mirror

AltAlt:
Office pololotics. Apparently people are now booking holidays deliberately to inconvenience other. Wha gwan in yo' place?

Internet. Always internet
Alt: I had a bad accident when I was kid. My facial covers the worst of the scarring.

AltAlt: Ha, doesn't surprise me. At our place there are people that are blatently creating more work for themselves to make them look busier than they are. Not a problem per se, but it ends up creating more work for the people around them.

Oh, no
I did fracture my skull, but no particularly bad damage was done to my bonce. My face and mouth took most of the impact.
Took most of the skin off my hands at the time too. Really I was fucking lucky to survive it.

Stupid kid. I walked out in front of a bus without looking when I was 10-ish. It sort of clipped me and threw me about 30 feet down the road.

Alt: I dislocated my thumb over the weekend. Other than that I'm in need of a run I reckon.
