If it is very boring for you in the office, here are some tips.
Try at least few of them :
1. Form a detective agency to find out who is quitting next.
2. Make blank calls to your Boss.
3. Count your fingers (and toes if you get bored).
4. Rearrange the furniture, i.e. flick someone else chair just to irritate him/her.
5. Send mails from ms-mail to your internet mail (and immediately get to the internet and see who reaches first, you or your mail?) and read them there, and note down the time they take to reach there.
6. Watch other people changing their facial expressions while working and try changing your expressions also.
7. Try to stretch status meetings as longer as possible, just by asking silly doubts.
8. Have work breaks in between tea.
9. Have a two hour lunch; it's a big social occasion.
10. Read jokes and send jokes.
11. Revise last week's newspaper.
12. Hold "How fast my computer boots" competitions.
13. Practice aiming the coffee cup into the dustbin.
14. Compile "How to waste your day"
15. Pick up phone and dial non existing no.s
16. Make faces at strangers in office.
17. Count maximum no of applications your computer can open at a time.
18. For Win NT/95 users....Move things to Recycle bin and restore them.. Then repeat this process.
19. Look at someone & try to imagine how(s) he might have looked when(s) he was 5 years old.
20. Learn to whistle.
21. Make full use of the comfortable chair and table provided and take a nap.
And if you are still getting bored:
22. Fwd this mail to everyone u know

Dear Niveditha,
That was hillarious...
for some of us, who dont get bored at the office - probably dont get time to get bored at office - may be we could use these as time-fillers sometimes on Sat etc.
The best one was sending email and checking who reaches first. Gosh... i laughed so much. showed it to my boss and she gave me ONE ICEY look... but she herself couldnt hold it for long and we both laughed!!!
thanks... if not anything, it makes us laugh so much!!
