Office Hours? Self-improvement?

Work Working in Taiwan
1

I work in a public school. I have office hours. I should be busier soon, but the beginning and end of every semester can be rough. If you were me, and you were trapped in an office as I am now, how would you make use of that time? How would you improve yourself? Develop new skills? Become more enlightened?

Reading Forumosa, well its how I have killed a couple of hours today. The lesson I have taken for it is, I’m not going to get them 2 hours back.

In an office on a boat!

Sure, I work on a boat. But it’s not a fun boat. It’s a very serious, very academic boat. And we never go anywhere interesting. Only the kids do that. I’m stuck here!

There’s no self improvement during office hours - only tormenting hours dealing with boss and customer’s so I visit this site to read other’s people mind sometimes they make me laugh in silence and smile without facial expression.

Today i’m the happiest person in this home office … :relaxed::smile: she is travelling for couple days.

I’d probably just have a couple of beers and practice the saxophone.

Beers are off the table. I guess I could practice guitar a bit.

Then get a mini fridge under the table :wink:

At least work on your tan.

Years ago there was actually another foreign guy who got “let go” for masturbating in the bathroom in another school.

These are all things I have done in the past but not anymore. Study for a big government exam. Study a language (flash cards, for example). Watch debates about a topic I like. Learn about semiconductors (youtube and reading what’s available on the internet). Any one of these things could occupy you for a long, long time.
