    Admittedly... if the opportunity arises (i.e. there's a big enough timeframe) I'll start gaming. If not that, then I'll try doing some homework. If not that, then I'll probably surf the net... rarely EC though; I don't want to risk getting caught with that there, not worth the effort of explaining x_x

    And if none of those things fit, I'll actually do my job :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I can't. But when you work on the floor of a busy pet store, you don't get much time to yourself. If you do you're scrubbing fish tanks.

    When I worked last summer, it was basically a helluva a lot of standing around, answering a question or two. Or I was emptying trash. But either way, it was boring. However, I was very rarely (if ever) not in view of customers, so I could never get on my phone to do anything.

    I used to look at homes I wanted to buy, and Facebook. Since I found EC I use my phone and don't look at much else. I find myself looking at EC even when I'm not bored though.

    Just to make sure I don't look like a lazy asshole, let me clarify: I work in a group home, and the one I'm at in particular happens to have a lot of down time. When work calls or emergency happens, I do go attend to what needs to be done <_<

    There's lots of downtime where I work, but for privacy reasons, I don't browse EC there. Mostly in downtime, I look at the articles on HackADay, TheRegister, and the Make blog.
