In the office, but no work

Hey Everyone,

I work hybrid 3 days in the office and I'm almost always busy when in. However, there are some days where the work is super slow or I'm waiting on responses and just feel like I'm wasting so much time being in the office. Working from home during covid allowed me to at least be productive during these down times or do something enjoyable like watch a show, sports, youtube etc.

Lately I've been reading books online and brushing up on financial modeling, but curious what else you guys do when you're in the office trying to kill some time.

After reading the entire Internet, I have a Master Classes subscription. Doing Ken Burns how to make a documentary now. If things don’t pick up, I may try gardening next, even though I have no garden!
