Boredom and keeping busy

Quite often I've got nothing to do and those tasked with giving me work (let's call them what they are: Managers) aren't giving me much to do. How do you stave off boredom? Do you actively seek work, if so, how?
In theory it sounds great being paid a daily rate for doing very little but am finding it very boring at the moment sitting in an office all day whiling away the hours. It also raises the question that I might find myself surplus to requirements. Some times I'm getting up and going for a piss just for something to do... help!Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
