So you're sitting at work, bored - or at college, or even at home - you're waiting around somewhere, basically, with no electronics to entertain you until your next appointment. It could be a train station, a hospital waiting room, church, or wherever else you've felt crippling boredom before. What do you do to pass this Bastard Time?
Sometimes I like to pretend I'm a giant spaceship - like the Enterprise - and that every limb movement has to be sent as a command from the bridge to the engineering section. With enough practice, the spaceship method can make the most mundane of tasks sufficiently interesting to ward off the temptation to lie flat on my front and scream into the earth. Top tip: you might want to add a sprinkle of incompetent crewmen, just to spice things up and give you someone to blame when you trip over your own feet and go headfirst into the drinks machine with your arms akimbo.
