Bored at work - suggestions?
 
I only know so many websites i can browse, plus some are blocked.
Any ideas what hidden gem like sites there are worth checking out or general good chit-chat forums etc (minus this one of course)

I need some inspiration!

Oh and i'm 30yrs old male from Manly :D

Take a large stick to work, or something like a broom handle, and 'whittle' it down to a large pile of tinder over the course of the working week.

OK, its not a website . . .

*Wander around the office with a tape measure making sure the walls are high enough
*Start a game of hide and seek with yourself - sit under someone else's desk, count to ten loudly and shout found you after a few minutes.
*Implement a green policy and turn off everything electrical.
*Ask the boss where he/she buys their clothes and gets their hair cut as you want to be ALOT more like them
*Advertise on Seek for positions at your work and start recruiting people in other people's jobs

*Leave your fly's open for one hour. If anyone points it out say, "Sorry I really prefer it this way, it lets the smell out".

*In a meeting or crowded situation, slap your forehead repeatedly and mutter, "Shut up dammit, all of you just shut up".

*Disappear into the toilets and emerge with your trousers over your head, then commence a 2 minute sprint around the office whilst holding your hands out to your side and making aeroplane noises. Return back to the toilets, get dressed again and return quietly to your seat as if nothing had happened.

A few more:

*Walk around with a clip board and ask people to prove their identity.
*Organise a stand up meeting - tell everyone this will be a very tough year and ask them to kneel and pray with you. End the prayer with the line "and we thank our Master and Overlord Satan for making the coming year so prosperous".
*Have a Tsunami drill
*Choose someone at random and say "I've been thinking about what you said yesterday and it's definitely not worth you going to jail over".
*Download some George Formby music, make copies at your work computer and hand them out to other employees, saying "Sorry it took me so long"
*Time yourself to see how long it takes to remove all of your clothes and put them back on inside out
*It's an oldie but a goodie - start gossiping about yourself, refering to yourself in the third person.

Not only refering to yourself in the 3rd person, but also using really old confusing words. It really discombobulates them :rofl:

Say: " JTL will have that fixed for you interfrastically". You get a stunned silence.:D
