How do you kill time at work? (other than reading the TA forums)

Help, I'm bored, I need suggestions...

So far I've tried:

The 60 second game-- this is where you wait til a minute starts, then try and count exactly 60 seconds.

Don't fall!-- This is where you go to sleep sitting up, and try not to fall out of your chair or hit your face on the desk.

number fun- bust out windows calculator and go crazy!!!

Screw with the maintenance guys-- this fun little game entails calling maintenance, and sending them running all over the building with the little mop-bucket for various reasons.

Look at all dem holes!- pretty simple, try and count as many little holes in the ceiling tiles before your eyes start to bleed.

Anyone esle got any pointless time killing games?

Hah, thats hilarious. I have been thinking about this same thing for the past month (When I started working). I dont know how I would get through a full day without reading and posting on TA, going to espn.com and reading up on everything in ridiculous detain, going to cnn.com and seeing wats going on in the world, and I also spend a hell of a lot of time trying to take 15 minute naps sitting up every 45 minutes to an hour.

get your calculator and typ 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1............................. and try to get as close to 1000 as possible if you press the = button.

To kill time ... in school i used to write all the trance songs i know in a paper

1) Count as far as you can
2) Check how long you beard is and then check it again 5 minutes later and look if its longer
3) Make 2 different mail accounts and start mailing and replying to your own mails.
4) "Read this again and follow the instructions"
5) Work??
6) Get fired
7) How many papers can you get into you garbage can?
8) Run around your desk and se how many times you can run around it before the boss is coming...then try to beat your record...... This can also lead to number 6
9) Try to pick you nose with your tongue
10) Try to find out how much weight you can but on your chair without falling by leaning back....

Haha you guys suck, I work in a one screen movie theater so when I get bored I just watch the movie, although it gets kinda old after a while and I memorize the lines, so I just end up eating a lot of popcorn and drinking a lot of pop.

I don't have a job, but when i'm at school this is what I do to kill time:

*write down all the dj's i know
*Sleep
*do a little ball out of paper and play "hand soccer" with both my hands
*play "snake" on my Nokia
*just draw some cool pics

That's about it...
