Below is fun stuff to do or read on your break (or at home). NOTE: Do NOT do fun stuff like this on your employer's Internet/Web connection if it is against your employer's policy. Make sure that you know your employer's policy for utilizing its equipment and Internet/Web browsing during your lunch break or work breaks. Some allow it. Some don't. Learn your employer's policy before you touch that mouse in your "off time" at work. Ask your manager and read your employer policy manual/handbook.

BREAK TIME FUN:

Magic 8 Ball - Want to know if you'll get a raise this year? Will you finish that project on time? Just ask the Magic 8 Ball about your fate in the workplace. (Disclaimer: This is all for fun only. ☺)

Sudoku - Play a game of Sudoku now.

Word of the Day - Increase your vocabulary daily.

Join MYPOINTS (Click the ad below and then complete the short form). It's a great way to earn freebies, like restaurant gift certificates, even if you do NOT shop a lot online. Yes...I said even if you do NOT shop a lot online. I know. I've been a member for years. I rack up a lot of points just for reading advertisements sent to me by email (and I shop online a little---but not a whole lot!). Just make sure you give them the same email address you do use when you shop online (not some obscure address you're using to filter spam). You WANT to get your points if you do shop online so they'll need to know this. All advertisements by email from MyPoints are clearly labeled too. You will NOT get that junk mail like you do from other "freebie" companies that let you subscribe and then tell every spammer where to find you for the next decade---the ones that send you email every day from a "different" address so you can't block them. (I know about that too personally!) This one is legitimate.
