All this spare time...

I have a dilemma today.

I am stuck at work until 3pm today (it is not 9am), work is very slow/boring but I want the time to pass by as quickly as possible due to my extreme anxiousness for later on this evening.

So, I ask you fellow T11 members. What do you do to pass the time when you're stuck at school, work or just bored around the house? Give me some practical suggestions that I can try in hopes to make things less dull.

Try this:
Since you are a magician, and let's assume that you don't have cards on you right now, just grab the first small object near you and practice with it. Make it vanish, make it reappear, just play around with it and try to come up with something off of it.
The time will pass by in the thinking process, and who knows, maybe you really do come up with something magical

Great idea, I'll look around the office and find something not as dangerous as I previously had in mind.

I practice my coin magic since I always have money with me, recently working on getting my controlled coin flip really awesome...

I could practice coin magic as well, something I've neglected doing for quite sometime. I do have cards with me as always, but for the sake of trying new things I plan to keep them in the box.

Working? Because I'm at work doesn't mean I have things needing to be done

I've performed around here a few times. Only one person is a real buzz kill, the ones I usually perform for are off work today or quite busy.

I got an idea!
practice flourishing with business cards!

OR

Cut out 52 pieces of paper and draw your own cards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

OR!
MAKE THE BUZZKILL BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you should work hard and do the best job you can.... but not really.

You should do some coin tricks and if your not good at coin tricks here is a good time to practice

I tend to use my mind to work on my magic. Just goover plots you are working on, etc.

I've spent the past couple hours routining. I've been writing out what my routine currently is and tweaking it and deciding what sleights could get the job done easier/faster. It's been rather productive so far
