What do you do during work downtime?

When you're waiting on the next turn of a deck, or staffing is slow.

Slow ass day and I'm pretty much Redditted out. Anyone reading anything interesting? Any cool blogs or articles to share? Finance, non-finance, geopolitics, don't care. Otherwise will default to England / Croatia though would prefer to be somewhat productive.

I got my hands on python programming - 3rd edition. might start trying to learn. read the news. go to the gym/take a walk. eat some takis. drink a beer. depends on the mood.

If you have like 30min to spare, crank out one of those bodyweight HIIT workouts. There are a lot of follow-along videos on YouTube. The job is super sedentary so I'd take any chance to get your heart rate up and sweat
