1) Read comics
2) Sleep/dream/ careful not to drool on keyboard or touch the keys even - wrong keys (Eg: Ctrl-C) will mean the end of your compiling.
3) Bug others who arent done coding yet. [Losers. Get a decent editor.]
4) Eat chips munching as noisily as u can. Like disturbing people in the theatre, this is as much fun.
5) Try imitating richard stallman [hand gestures n all].
6) Eat some more. something that smells so good it disturbs others. Ever been sittin n suddenly u get the smell of good ol' KF chicken ?!
7) Sword fighting from here- manager will frown def if he sees you but :(. And be careful not to kill someone.
8) Play catch. squash version does too. good if u got no cubicle mate to play with. will improve ur catch drop rate if you play cricket :). My fave this.
9) Blog your hidden thoughts feeling anguishes hopes fears etc etc. [Like people care.]
10) Stare like zombie at screen. Like Cyclops, maybe the rays from ur eyes will make it compile faster[NOT blow up the pc !]. Just like u tend to leave the loo fast when someone is outside and knocking! [sorry if crude].
11) Pray/ have a 'havan' so the compiler Gods say to ur compiler- go forth and multiply [ the errors and warnings and messages.]
12) No.1 is obv : write a blog post of "things to do while compiling".
13) Flirt.Is very dangerous if the other person takes everything seriously and then u might find urslef on a REAL date that evening! [U lucky bum u[considering how many 'chasmis' ppl actually go on REAL dates]].
14) Day dream. About your future plans. Eg: Should i go for manchurian or moumou today ? Hmmm....
15) Tweak around with the settings on the coffee machine. [If it aint broke, break it! ]
16) Check out funny profiles of people on shaadi.com .
17) Add contacts in your phone address book.
18) See the state of the Indian economy/politics [At least now x-(. C'mon. ]
19) Make braids of ur hair/or re-gloss ur nails...
Whoops gotta go. My compiling is done. If u know better things, do share...
....Almost forgot. 20) Orkutting/Facebooking whatever suits you.
21)AND playing NFS too. just dont get caught.
