<div class="IPBDescription">What to do during long hours at work</div> Okay', I am really quite bored here in the computer lab at my school, and even though it's the last day of classes, there are always times where you are at a public computer with little(or nothing?) to do. So, let's use this topic as a way to list stuff to do on a public computer(I.E. No downloadable apps pretty much, all links/such must be work/school safe) when you're bored and have spare time. Obvious choices are:

Forums
Blogs(if you follow that sort of thing)
Web Comics
IMs/IRC(if firewall/etc. permits)
Flash games? (Please list any good ones. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->)

I may edit this post with other ideas as they crop up.

The boredom is taking over my brain... X_X

    In the high school days,nearly everyone downloaded GB emulators and played the Zelda game and a weird version of Mario. (summat like Mario 4 or sumthing)
    GB emulators are a good idea,or failing that play something like Tactics Arena or Runescape. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    Or failing that,just actually work on something,u slacker!!

    Dunno anything interesting to do when bored, other than Start->Run, Sol.

    Last year of my college life was spent breaking the college firewall, and hosting UT'99 Net servers!

    I want your job <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I would usually just serf the net in between tech calls at the ISP. When I wasn't in the warehouse doing bitchwork, I'd be answering silly phone calls with answers like "Put in your username and password correctly ****."

    So Lots of forums/online games I would play
    Mission red kept me NICE company
