Games When you're Bored at work

[Mr Janny]

This past weekend, my workplace had a major IT upgrade event. Started Friday night and went all the way through Sunday. 30 of us worked until midnight-ish every night, and then got going again at 8AM. I wasn't part of the actual upgrade tasks, more on the organization and coordination side of things. There was a lot of waiting around. We had a bridge call going, and as we whiled away the hours, we were doing things to entertain ourselves. We settled on a game called "What Movie Title best describes (insert random subject)?" So like: What movie title best describes your last relationship? What movie title best describes your first day of college? That kind of thing. And then everyone types their answer in the meeting chat, we all laugh and do it again. My favorite, by the way, was "What Movie title best describes your last trip to the bathroom?
- The Longest Yard
- Backdraft
- Big
- Black Snake Moan

Just a bit of light-hearted fun, during an event that wasn't much fun at all.

Anyway, does anyone else have any go-to activities for passing the time at work?

I play black snake moan as often as I’m able. In line at DMV, the toilet, and cousin’s weddings and bar mitzvah’s.

3 kicks for a batwing.

Office has a Golden Tee and Ms PacMan.

I play Slay the Spire to pass the time. It's a roguelike card game, doesn't need to be paused and it's easy to drop in and out of. Keep my mind occupied between appointments or while I'm waiting for more information to continue on what I'm doing.

I'm in construction and actually work. Haven't got time to waste on frivolous nonsense.

 

[JP4CY]

NYT games app is solid for passing time.

I'm glad they make an exception for internet message boards.

I stay busy responding to Nigerian princes who want to keep sending me money. As soon as the money shows, I will pass a good chunk on and ISU athletics will be set.

You only exist because of a spreadsheet I put together in 8 minutes.

 

[singsing]

Yeah sure. I'm in charge of large national projects. I've got structures from Alaska to Florida that will be standing a 100 years after I'm gone. Spreadsheet accountants are under me. If u Worked on any of my projects and I heard you were screwing around playing video games I'd fire you.

I suppose then you don't want to see hard evidence of how productive the workforce actually is then...

Its been said before, but good thing your superiors dont feel the same about you and internet message boards

 

[RagingCloner]

What the **** did you just ******* say about me, you little *****? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the **** out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my ******* words. You think you can get away with saying that **** to me over the Internet? Think again, ******. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're ******* dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little ****. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your ******* tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will **** fury all over you and you will drown in it.
