I work at this call center, and I come in at 6am. I spend most of my day surfing the internet trying to kill time, and maybe learn something. I was wondering if you guys can recommend anything to do during this free time. I have asked for more work during my shift, but I have been denied numerous times.

thx info

Study for a certification.

Genealogy.

Read.

Spend hours looking through old post here at the forum. Follow links, and look up stuff you don't understand. I have killed many hours of many days doing this. :D

You know, I have seriously considered automotive repair, I just can't think of a good reason why. Would you happen to have one?

And can you please define construction practices for me?

Thanks!

LOL, I suppose my last post was meant to be sarcastic. Kind of like "Find another job" :D ;)
As for a good reason for automotive repair, it is a very lucrative business. With computer analyzation, and technical skills needed you are more computer/electronics tech then grease monkey.
Construction practices is something near and dear to my heart. I am a general contractor. What I am referring to is concrete construction, framing, plumbing, electrical,....Basically the assembly of a building or structure.
Finding employees who have any knowledge of the trades anymore is very difficult. A decent carpenter in my area is worth every bit of $20 to $25 per hour. Lead man/foremen- $30+

If setting at a desk waiting for the phone to ring is not fulfilling your day, come on outside, stomp around in the mud, beat your thumb with a hammer, get splinters and blisters from digging 100 foot of ditch,
Well, you get the idea ;)
