The Kill Time while at Work Thread

...as if most of us aren't good enough at it

Maybe my logic skills will improve by doing these.

Other than Playa Info where else do you kill time?

I am still weaning myself off a Chuzzle addiction.
That and other PopCap.com games.

Killing Time

Well, now that the darn Tormenting Web Cam of Playa sucks up my day, I would say Yahoo is always great for a little bit of everything from my much needed NFL Updates (too long to wait for regular season) to the latest "Flying off the Deep End" Tom Cruise fiasco updates.

The site of one of my favourite shows (This Hour has 22 Minutes, kind of a Canuck SNL) has video clips of old skits; sometime if I need a laugh I go here.

http://www.cbc.ca/22minutes/video.html

You know me, I love to read gloom and doom stuff like this ...

http://www.oildecline.com/

This site is good, Nature Magazine and National Geographic's site is too...

http://www.nature.com/nature/index.html


TalkOrigins.com is a great site...
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/evolution-fact.html
as is religioustolerance.org....
http://www.religioustolerance.org/
The Skeptic' Dictionary is a good site too...
http://www.skepdic.com/ultrafundamentalism.html

Check out local houses for sale here...

http://www.saskhouses.com/listings.php

for gossip ...

http://www.ew.com/ew/home/0,11146,,00.html

Interesting quotes...

http://www.nobeliefs.com/SomethingToThinkAbout.htm


Keeping an eye out for that fabled 'cheap trip' ..

http://www.escapes.ca/


And sometimes if my cubemates are being particularly annoying, I keep this site open because of the ocean sounds.

http://www.zihuatanejo.net/bungalowspacificos/



I like to check out the Akumal webcam sometimes too ...

http://www.locogringo.com/upload/akumal-beach-cam.html


And of course (just for Scott )

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_ignorance


I actually DO work most of the day....most of the above I check out maybe once a week or so, PlayaInfo is the only one I log onto regularly.

I wish I knew what I was missing, but my "entertainment block" here at work prevents me from viewing. They keep us on a somewhat tight leash here. Thank goodness I can still get into the forum!!
To answer the question though, I have such an addiction to this site especially with my trip coming up, that I spend 90% of it here. The other 10% I'm looking at websites for sandals, sunglasses, swimsuits and anything else that I will need while in Playa.
Am I pathetic or what??!!

I've been thinking about spending some time on Tulum Info...

Any guitar fans out there? Who just want to rip it up?


Skip the intro, then go to the lesson tab and wail away...you might want to turn your volume down as to not disturb the rest of the Dilberts....

This is a familiar topic.

www.coach.com

Or.......

When I actually DO have time to kill - I tend to plan vacations that I shouldn't be taking and then invite people to come who may or may not be bad influences on me.

I would say about 90% of my time is spent on Playa.info, and the other 10% is spent on my other forum (mommy forum.) If the boss man knew what I was doing I would probably be fired by now
