YAY!
Things either myself or colleagues (former or present) have done to alleviate boredom.

Forklift Spinning: a willing victim sits on a wheelie office chair and holds onto the back of a forklift truck. The driver of the truck then locks the steering wheel and floors it. Bets are taken as to how long the victim can hold on for and in which direction they will fly off when they do let go. YAY!

Racking Plummet: a not-inconsiderable amount of empty (but assembled - this is important) boxes are piled together then warehouse monkeys will scale the racking all the way to the top before hurling themselves onto/into the pile of waiting boxes. YAY!

Christmas Bingo: a seasonal game where I email out a Word document for my call centre colleagues and me to cross off when taking calls during December. Check those boxes for:
Patient names of Bell, Snow, Frost and Holly
Caller names of Carol/e, Noel, Holly and Eve
Customer is ordering coloured contact lenses in time for a party
Customer sounds giggly and filled with Christmas spirit
Customer wishes you a Merry/Happy Christmas etc.
Customer asks you if you've done your Christmas shopping
Customers asks you about your plans for New Year's Eve
Customer has festive hold or background music
Customer is singing carols to themselves.
There's also a variation on this with Specsavers or Vision Express where 12 stores at random around the country are selected and the first person to take a call from each store wins. YAY!

Myers, Parker & Stone Surprise: attempt to put a colleague off their call by bellowing one or a combination of the following at them:
Honestly? Who throws a shoe?
Zippit!
Get in mah belleh!
Ah ate a babeh!
If you're gonna spew, spew into this.
Matt Damon!
Timmeh!
Oh, herro!
launching into a rendition of 'I'm So Ronery'
Oh no? I've got Arec Bardwin!
Hey Hans
You little Bitch
Obviously the guys I sit with and I have a small obsession with the films of Mike Myers, Trey Parker and Matt Stone. YAY!

Reading: I lent my copy of Watchmen to one of my colleagues and that kept him out of mischief for two solid days while he read it at his desk. YAY! (Because he wasn't winding me up the whole time for once.)

Funnies: telling crude and/or pathetic jokes to various colleagues. YAY!

Typing: chatting to colleagues on Sametime. YAY!

Teh Interweb: the usual reading BBC, Holy Moly, B3ta, Empire Online, ICHC (and the similar Macro communities on Live Journal), shopping on Play, online banking, playing games on the likes of Game Fools etc. YAY!

Lolcats: making my own lolcats in a desperate attempt to get peer approval on the aforementioned LJ communities. (I'm rather proud of a black & white Shakespeare one I did which is also my current desktop.) YAY!

LinkedIn: this is for the odd occasion when I've finished reading the internet *snerk* so I trawl for my old colleagues and see if anyone's lurking about. YAY!

The Name Game: pick a character from Family Guy and give that name to the customer rather than your own. I tend to go for Lois or Meg. YAY!

Regional Rip-Off: unwittingly imitate the accent of the customer, especially those from NI, ROI, Wales and Scotland. (Actually, I can't help this sometimes, I've no accent to speak of.) YAY!

Email: I have a group of seven friends with whom we spend all day emailing each other. God bless Reply To All. We even named ourselves - Time Wasters Anonymous. One of them also loiters on here too. YAY!

No apologies for length: I'm bored!

Edited because I'm a damned moron.

Sorry
but I can't help but notice a small mistake, it's Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Unless I'm missing an in-joke.

You are indeed correct. I am a fool and I shall repent as soon as I can. (Pfff, and I call myself a film fan. HAH!)
