How do you occupy yourself on slow days at the office?

Asked by livelaughlove21 (15724points) January 24th, 2014

I work at a law firm and they start the newbie legal assistants off with one attorney. I’m already out of the “official training phase” and am now on my own for the most part. I find myself with a lot of down time, as my assigned attorney is very last-minute. I need a second attorney STAT, but that’s beside the point.

Today has been a particularly slow day, with busy moments coming in spurts, so I’ve done the following to keep myself occupied: Fluther, online “window” shopping for makeup, preparing a folder with all of the documents I have gathered for filing our 2013 tax return, online news, organizing my already organized office, creating a monthly expense spreadsheet with all of our bills to see what kind of disposable income we’ll be enjoying now that I’m working, setting up auto-pay at each company we have a monthly bill with that offers it, reading “The Green Mile” on my Kindle, and visiting the restroom way more than I really need to.

What do you do on slow days at work?
