Ok, here I sit in the office with almost nothing to do because its the day before a holiday.

We're not about to make any changes to the servers, the office is empty so there's little work occurring on the servers and we're basically on auto-pilot now.

so what to do, like yesterday I've been vitually living here at macnn

I like being busy as that makes the day go by, but since I've been putting in 12 to 14 hour days now for the last 6 months a slow day is welcome.

What do you guys do when its slow.

Can I still post in here if I'm bored at school? Two hour evidence class the day before thanksgiving just isn't cool. In a few hours I will be off to work where I know for a fact it won't be slow or quiet.

Why do you say you'll be busy - Do you work in retail or a restaurant?

okay, now I'm bored too.
I already watched "The Third Man", had three mugs of coffee, and it's only 10:52 am. 10:53.

Today will be full of watching Venture Brothers and Monster Garage at work and avoiding the two lab reports I need to be doing for next week.

My day will perk up for about an hour.

Heading to the gym in 30 minutes, grabbing a bite to eat and then returning to the boring and mundane

Geez, I've actually got work to do. I'm brain-wise not here today.

Our web server has apparently chosen today to die, which means no website, no email, nada. Oh and I was going to migrate our own file server today but that might just make the boss's head explode.

So here I am fellas. How's it hangin?

Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm sorry you're so busy - because being busy means people are losing their houses.

I'm dreading going into work tomorrow. It's going to be so SLOW and we're set to have a full staff....
