I need more ways to waste time

PowerMonkey — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 15:08:53 -0400

Alright guys, I need some help here. The markets are slowing deals are stretching out and my current methods can only waste so much of each day.

Currently, I use the following methods to keep from boredom:
-Read the news (including fark, drudge, cnn, nytimes, bloomberg, wsj)
-Play on WSO
-Read webcomics
-Check my various email accounts
-Read other types of news (tech news, gaming news)
-Celebrity crap (wwtdd and perezhilton)
-Read ebooks
-Call family members
-Occasionally do work that isn't urgent
-Goto the gym

So, what do you guys think, is there anything else that I could be doing to keep from being bored. The only things that I can think of, but can't do since my screen is very visible are:
-3d games
-Porn

Posting to a topic you started should not earn you more points

By earning more points when posting to your own topics, you incentivize people to post "bump", not be clear in their initial posts etc.

I don't know if this is possible, but I think something like this would make the points slightly more meaningful.

Places to live in NYC

I'm trying to figure out whether or not to move someplace else in the city once my current lease is up in May. As a bit of background, 1.5 years in the city so far living in the financial district. The next time I want to move I'd like to stay for 2 or 3 years in that one location.

I just moved to a firm without Fasttrack for Excel and I would rather not buy it ($300 is a little much). Does anyone know of any excel add-in Macro anything that can do the smart trace precedents style functionality.

Macquarie NY

What do people around here think of Macquarie in terms of culture, pay and opportunities? This question has been posed before yet usually doesn't get any real answers. Anyone around here actually work there so they know first hand.
