5. Getting Coffee – Sometimes, if you’re really bored, you can just get up and walk really slowly to the coffee maker. This can shave a good 5 to 10 minutes off the clock. Carrying papers with you makes you look more official.

3. Staring straight ahead – If you work at it, you can actually train yourself to shut off your brain and stare at a spreadsheet for long periods of time. Hours can disappear like seconds.
2. The Daily Email – chatting it up with friends makes the day more bearable.
1. Bathroom trips – Nothing is more satisfying than dropping a deuce on the company dime!
