What do you usually do when you don't have task to do in your office?

This is different from vacant time or break time such as lunch or break for snack. Well do you have any days or times that your boss is not asking you to do something? Like you are not doing any office work. Example in my case since I am a graphic artist there are times that he will give me a task and ask me to design something for marketing collateral such as brochure, business cards, flyers and other more for print. Sometimes it has to be rushed that I have work loads but there are times that I can rest and do other things. For now I am not doing anything since he didn't give me any assigned task as graphic artist so what I can do now is to post here in mylot all the time here at office. Or at times I can do other projects just like from Odesk. My officemate who interviewed me before even told me before I work here that I can still do my sidelines in case that I have no assigned task for this company. Some of my officemates have told me regarding the former graphic artist whom I replaced that before he has his sidelines and sometimes he is going home early to do the other sidelines. He is also doing invitations and other more designs inside the office which has nothing to do with the company that he is working. What about you what are you doing? Are you also posting in forums, do other works, or playing games?

oh when there is no task, or if i can handle some activities that is not work, or work related in the office, i would actually be doing some mylotting and spend quite a lot of time in here posting messages and answering discussions and making threads. i would rather spend time earning than do some games where i do not get anything out of.. :P

that is why i am happy the mylot is open here in our office, it keeps me busy when i am not busy doing work tasks. and of course during lunch breaks i am able to log in to mylot and be active and earn at the same time. i just do not feel i need to be spending so much time playing games and not being productive. no offense meant to those who love to play games - to each his own liking. ;)

Same reason here I would rather do something that has benefits like earning money rather than an addiction in games. Though there are times that playing games can still make you feel relax and de-stress.

Be careful... He might change his mind about that 'Christmas Break' if he finds out you're posting in myLot instead of working...

I am lucky to have ample time right now to be here. I am not busy with work lately. Most of the time I play my facebook games or I am here in mylot. They have given us other things to do while we are not working with our specific jobs, but I do make sure I finish it fast so I could be here. I do wish I have other sidelines so that I could make the best out of my vacant times.

I would also do the same metatronik. I participate in the discussion if I have nothing to do at the office. I would do this thing instead of fb. I would always find things to make my time productive.

Make productive things is big advantage so that you can really earn and having extra cash. At least we are not only relying with our company.
