Question: What do you do if you have nothing to do??

Oooh! I like Ian’s distinction between work and spare time! There’s often ‘nothing to do’ in some respect at work if people don’t turn up to appointments, but then there is actually paperwork to fill in or letters and reports to write and data to collect and analyse. And emails to check (there’s always emails). In my spare time, I tend to arrange things to do in the evening – going out with friends, joining a club, going to a play… if there’s nothing on, I’ll take myself to a cafe and watch YouTube on their internet or read a book. What do you do?
