Bored at Work?

You know the scenario. At work. Bored out of your mind. Desperately surfing the web for something to entertain you without appearing totally unproductive. Computer monitor in a position where many people can see.

A quick search through this forum had a "Bored?" thread but with people drawing random images via MS Paint :confused:

I'd like to see what websites you guys visit to help you through your workday. Lord knows, maybe I'll be getting tired of the sites I visit pretty soon. Hopefully this'll turn into a resource for those who'll be seeking employment in the future to use when they find themselves in a similar situation. I'll post a few to start off. Include a short blurb of the type of content it offers.

http://www.digg.com
One of those tech-y user-modded content sites. I like it because the topics are extremely diverse and it points you to tons of interesting articles (ie, lots of reading material = passing time = good).

Not typically the type to follow celebrity gossip but I'm a sucker for sarcastic-guy-commentary/perspective. Is that why I keep hanging around GW? ;)

http://www.cuteoverload.com
Pictures of uber-cute animals. No seriously. It often crosses the threshold of ridiculous-ness and makes my head explode. Metaphorically.

That helped pass the time.

I don't honestly think I can get away with the sites I visit to pass time in class.

I will mention that tampering with the filters on school computers is a lot of fun ;)

Yep. I'm sure most classrooms will have that lemon party site on lock down.

I find http://www.hardocp.com/ very interesting - if you continue to scroll down there's links to articles daily and they always seem to be worth a read. It's one of the few sites not blocked at my work - Gotwoot is blocked, btw, in case you were wondering.
