Do any of you great people know of any interesting websites related/unrelated to snowboarding I could possibly use to pass some time.
I generally work the 7pm-7am shift which contains a lot of empty space. Netflix can only be so much help at times like this!
Also - do any of you guys here work nights? It's very quiet during the dead hours of 1am - 5am!!!
I tend to look at a lot of products which are very interesting, yet not that necessary.. at the moment im looking at a Contour Roam 2 camera. Any other gadget ideas? or anything at all really.
Working hard - David. |

reddit.com has wasted so much of my time in the past few years.. has everything.
you'll go through stages of hating it but not knowing of anything else to waste your time.. enjoy! x |

/r/snowboarding is a really inactive subreddit though so don't expect much.
/r/nosleep is good for late nights if you want to be scared to go to the toilet down the corridor in the office or whatever, some creepy stories (/u/1000vultures comes to mind) to be had and a lot of crap ones.
Bring in a crappy MMO or FPS on a memory stick, play quake or something that will run on any work pc if you enjoy games, even some ROMs and an emulator.
Failing that get an irc client and make some new friends if you get lonely. |

VPN and use a different countries netflix.... 
www.getusvpn.com works for me as a freebie, you have to put a new password in every time as they change it every 4-6 hours, but for free it means you will also have access to things in america that you would not normally have, like all the american tv websites with on demand stuff...
That or as previously suggested SLEEP haha |

What is it you do for a living? I go to sleep in my job sometimes, though I drive a lorry for a living and left to my own devices. My last job it could take 3 hours to get tipped the job I'm in now I don't really get chance to.  |

I sometimes do nights and weekend 12hr shifts
9gag gets hit alot and so does wimp.com
but get tired of PC after a while ( my job is PC based )
so I tend to draw alot, also got juggling balls, yo-yo
even a skateboard 
got told off for bringing my recurve bow to work tho they wouldn't let
me shoot it down the office, no one else was in so didn't see the issue
oh well |

| I think the whole juggling thing is a good idea - teach yourself a new skill. Can you take a guitar to work? Failing that... online pool is awesome |
