    OP works in a call centre. They're paid to sit about doing not a whole heck of a lot until a customer phones in, wherein they assist the customer in understanding just how inept at life they've been by pointing out that the button labelled PWR doesn't actually stand for "Push While Ringing".

    During my time in such an institution I got very adept at stacking playing cards into towers extending well higher than my cubicle's walls.

    Oooh Reddit. The internets greatest black hole. I swear to God seconds in Reddit-time are hours in real life, you just get sucked in and spat out half a day later...

    We used to do things like look for the countdown music on the internet or boings and buzzer sounds off game shows, sounds dull, is dull, but just about beats the boredom

    That's why I am happy I'm not stuck in an office and am out in a van all day with no one watching your every move.

    Microsoft Virtual Academy

    Go learn about cloud services and then stick your accomplishments on your CV. Then, hit up the open uni and do some of their free to learn courses (you have to pay for materials and exams) and once again stick that on your CV. And then - if your employer catches you "bettering yourself" you could even try and blag your work to pay for some of said materials and exams.
