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.

The funniest answer i heard to this was :
'Interpret'.
More:
22) Do yoga. Might distract people who can see you :P. reasons obvious.
Just be careful u dont crack your head bone[THE most important bone in your body :|].
23) Catch some person and start an argument on 'Is arranged marriage better or love marriage'. This topic I've noticed is the most favored topic when you want to pass time, argue unnecessarily, eat ur freinds head and NO ONE can resist it. Everyone has an opinion on this and best part is, the topic can be re-used: i.e. never ever will there be a consensus. The discussion is always ended with a: 'I'll convince you next time, when I have less work.'
24) PS: Do not start 9 or 12. Its addictive! :'(
i'll definitely use some of the tips on this post :D

The most disgusting answer I heard was:
29) Pick your nose.
The most cruel one [to me ] was:
30) Comment on your own blogs to show how despo you are. :'(.
Very insightful compilation of pointers to enjoy office time (all puns unintended of course!)Reminded me of Wally in Dilbert :) OMT: Keep ur eyes open while chatting up (have seen ppl get so engrossed in the chat that they open their xls of passwords and copy one at a time :P) - throws up more interesting possibilities!
