Customer service, Sunday night.  People think we're closed and can't help them.  Not my fault they're idiots, I just get bored.

www.somethingawful.com , or best-of craigslist

usually kills a great deal of time, but i've read everything on it.  And i deal with plenty of stupid customers without calling and offering them help. lol

It may not be to other peoples' liking, but sometimes when I'm bored, I search for a random thing on Wikipedia that I'm interested in and read through it, opening tabs for any links that catch my interest as I read through it, and repeat the process with those tabs.  It's kinda fun to see where you end up on Wikipedia while looking at where you started.

Like for example, I could start by looking up 'Fox'.  From there, I'd read through, opening the tab 'Red Fox'.  In that article, I'd open the tabs 'Tame Silver Fox,' 'Arctic Fox' and 'Foxes in culture'.  After reading through the first two, I'd read through the last and click the tab for 'kitsune.'  From there I could be led into the article about Inari, and then into Shintoism, then on into other aspects of Japanese culture.

I dunno, I think it's kinda fun, and I think as long as you're careful about what you click on, there shouldn't be anything "not-work-safe" that you would need to worry about.

Take a book to work and read.
