When work gets slow, what can I do to not be too bored? As well as not get into trouble?

I work on my webpage...
it's all HTML code, so unless you look at it.....

Or,
post reviews here on TechIMO,
Find interesting webpages and let the forum know.
tweak your OS
Post comments about how ungodly handsom TonTo is because all the world knows he is. and how he should get a nobel prize for just sharing his stellar personality with the world

hehe sorry
post in some of the other forums.... like tech general and what not.
or just go find that bubble wrap page and stay there for a couple hours.

As a last resort, when things really get tough, you can go through your piles of old floppy disks and reformat them....

Think of something
Search for it & then just let the links flow, waiting to see where u end up.

Keeps me amused anyway

Yep 2am, and it hits me...
Man's relationship to God and the universe, and how it applies to quantum physics.. Pages of reading!!!

Hey Surreal... Paul Davies has some great reads on this...

(One of his most widely read is "The Mind of God")

That's R-E-A-L D-E-E-P Surreal!

I'm rarely bored . . . . . . as far as I know!

My mind is usually going in 50 directions at the same time! I can usually focus on what I'm immediately doing, but if I don't have anything to do, I let my mind go!

Then I pick on one of the thoughts and focus on it! (Like up-grading my computers at home.)

When that fails, I tend to think about the fourth and fifth dimensions and their effects on the universe (in relationship to how it applies to quantum physics, of course)!

Harder

you could try getting the flu, then take all kinds of flu meds and sit at your desk. You kind of zone out starring at your monitor. You arent doing anything but you're not bored either. I know ive been doing it most all today and yesterday.
