Start and run a business to get out of that shithole
Go on WSO
I read the news, take care of admin work, watch sports/bet, roam WSO or fight people on Twitter etc.
Same lol
Use the time to catch up on things that are low priority. This means anything from organizing your inbox to get it clean to handling admin work to making sure that you've covered everything that has needed to get done since Jan. Might as well use the time to make sure your desk is 100% clear.
Makes sense... I've procastinated on a lot of the admin work
take a MOOC and learn a new skill
This is a good idea, thanks
Are you guys not fundraising?? No new deals is not a great place to be.
I work in a corp VC arm of a conglomerate - we have a set fund each year
hows the total comp compared to traditional vc?
Usually go on this... after work, I never check WSO after leaving. I would like to try to learn a new skill so I expand my knowledge in programming or whatever it is but it's hard to focus when you're working.
Can you not just leave the office if there's nothing going on???
Unfortunately, no. Face time is very impt in our team
Bring a flat screen into the office and just watch TV (or a gaming console if you are into video games).
Read news not work related (eg sport, random stuff), WSO, learning new things like reading scientific magazines, watch sport highlights, new car release, going for a stroll around the trading floor, go out for a coffee or two, table football with colleagues
Sometimes markets are quite quiet
you ever jerk off in the handycap stall? yeah me neither
