I completely sympathise! When the company I worked for was taken over by a much larger company, we went through a period of about 7 months when there was really practically nothing whatsoever that we could do. Having to be there, pretending to be all keen and ready to go was absolutely soul-destroying.
You say your employer has blocked the internet. Would you get into trouble for taking in a laptop with a 3G card in it? Even if you've not got a laptop, you can get them bundled free with wireless broadband deals now for £50 or less per month, which has to be a small price to pay if it helps preserve your sanity!
Alternatively, is there any reason you want to avoid getting another job?
Due to the nature of my employment, your fine ideas are no good to me! Comsec prevents me using any wireless devices in the office. Can't leave this job until my employers decide where to send me next (military).You say your employer has blocked the internet. Would you get into trouble for taking in a laptop with a 3G card in it?

Try inventing something. That bloke with the toaster did very well.
Practice your handwriting? Design the optimum paper aeroplane? re arrange the contents of your, wallet/nose/trousers for a few hours
get the dictionary and learn five new words, do some lower legs stretches and try to work up to one hundred consequtive pressups ?
Ponder the big questions, why are we here, does anyone care, is there a dog, why do women put their feet on the dashboard ?
Buy a tendo ds ?
look for another job - if the british military are a little dull, have you thought about joining the Afghan army, interesting work and travel ?

), now maybe summer - could still be bulls
t but at least there's a plan forming. So that's why I didn't start anything - if only I'd known. Next posting should be much more interesting.
Where's their careers office?Welcome to my world.
Theres PH's, lots of unblocked sites like BBC, Channel 4 and such like. I presume your allowed your mobile phone so can text mates, and ofcourse there is toilet breaks, make the most of these. Lunch break should be spent either having a 30 minute walk or doing shopping, NOT eating, if your allowed to eat at your desk do so and I mean breakfast and Lunch thus breakfast lasts from 9am - 10am with some PH's inbetween, lunch is a 30 min walk followed by an hour of eating and PH's, each toilet break is 15 mins. You soon get through the day.

Imagine, if you will, a job that requires an intelligent, responsible and highly-trained man* to be manning a desk 24/7, 364 days a year. This job, despite the level of responsibility and skill necessary, rarely requires much work and never, I repeat never requires any interesting work.
Well, here I am and that's my job, and I'm really bored. Bored of my book. Bored of the internet (blocked my thoughtful employers so that the only vaguely interesting thing available is PH. Even eBay is banned!). Bored of drinking coffee. Bored of looking out of the window. Bored of eating biscuits. Bored of thinking about plans for when I get home next. Bored of.... well, you get the idea.
Any ideas how to relieve the boredom? I get a half hour for lunch soon - and that's pretty much the main highlight of my day!
