I find myself having a lot of free time at work.  As soon as I’ve done what I need to do I sit around for what seems like hours trying to find ways to make the time pass.  Here are some of the best things I’ve found to “keep busy” at work

1. Pogo

Pogo.com offers a TON of really great/fun you can play online with other people or even play all by yourself.  My personal favorite is definitely Monopoly.  It’s fun, has great graphics, and takes up a good amount of time during my day.

2. Games.com

I love to play hearts on here.  It has WAY better graphics and game play then yahoo.com games, so that is why it play it there.  Also, you are able to personalize your own avatar and we all know how much fun that is!

3. Blog!

Blogging is awesome!  It’s a ton of fun and lets you keep up w/ family & friends via your own page.  There are soooo many websites where you can create your own blog.  I recommend WordPress.

4. Social Networking Websites

I find myself checking websites like twitter and Facebook a million times throughout the day.  There’s also the ever popular Myspace, I personally think it is way over rated tho!  There are a TON of other social networking websites that let you connect and keep up with old classmates, family members, co-workers, and even people that work in your same industry.  One I recently discovered is LinkedIn.  Check it out!

5. YouTube

Everyone has heard of YouTube.  But… there are really more things on there then you could ever imagine.  You have the capabilites to catch up on your favorite shows and even watch your favorite commercials.  It’s awesome.

6. Ebay

Maybe there is a certain something you’ve been eying at the store, but it’s a little out of your price range.  Why don’t you try to find it on Ebay!  Seriously, you can find just about ANYTHING on ebay, it’s awesome.

7. Find New Apps For Your Phone

This one doesn’t just apply to iPhone users.  I was playing with my sisters LG Venus and discovered that she has some pretty cool apps available on her phone!  I really had no idea.  Bored?  Look for cool new apps for your phone, useful or not!

8. Flickr

Flickr is an awesome website where you can upload all your photos to!  But wait!  It’s SO much more than that!  You can edit them, share them, tag them, as well as view millions of other people’s unbelievably awesome photography.  Check it out here!

9.Put Your Webcam To Use

Ok, so this one you can really only use if you either A.) don’t get embarrassed easily or B.) can’t be seen by anyone else in your office.  Not only are webcams great for video chat, but you can also use it as a camera!  Yes!  Take goofy pictures of yourself on your webcam and edit them to look crazy!

10. Clean Up!

And no, I’m definitely not talking about your desk of your office.  I’m talking about your computer!  Get rid of unwanted/un needed files and improve the performance on your computer.  I did this the other day and I couldn’t believe how much crap I had on my computer I really didn’t need, and I definitely noticed a difference in my computer’s performance.  So clean up!
