Tired of working in the same old rut? Need a new job, or just want to get fired? The following ten websites are assured to enrage your boss if he or she catches you surfing said sites. Enrage and possibly terminate your employment, actually. For each website, I’ve tried to predict your boss’s reaction when finding you on the site. For sheer time-wasting, you can’t beat these:

Card Toss

Enjoy tossing cards into a hat? Sure you do, since it wastes time so spectacularly. Try to beat your previous score in this game; if it takes you the whole working day to do it, so be it.

Possible Boss Reaction: “I don’t care what you say, flipping cards is not a valuable on-the-job training skill! Get back to work!”

Jello-Time

The great thing about this website, besides poking the jello repeatedly to watch it shake and tremble, is the twangy sound effect that goes along with it. Be sure to jack up the volume on your computer speakers so the sounds of your jello-poking reverberate amongst the cubicles, making your co-workers look around in wonderment and confusion.

Possible Boss Reaction: “Where the hell is that weird noise coming from? You’re… poking jello on company time!?!”

Watching Grass Grow

Nothing better to do at work but watch the grass grow, but there’s no nearby window in which to look outside? Well, visit this site and you can watch the grass grow. Not only that, but you’ll be treated to a cheesy rendering of the hit tune “Live and Let Die”, too! A website guaranteed to annoy anybody who isn’t into watching grass grow on company time.

Possible Boss Reaction: “You’re watching the grass grow on the Internet?!? We’re not paying you to do that! What is wrong with you?”

Watch It Shred!

It’s oddly fascinating to watch the shredding machine on this website do its work. And they’ve shredded a lot of items, too: filing cabinets, tires, and old arcade games just to mention a few. My personal favorite is when they shredded an entire Dodge Daytona, quite the sight to see.

Possible Boss Reaction: “Hey… that’s kind of cool… wait a minute, no…get back to work!”

Virtual Bubble Wrap

Sometimes there’s nothing better to waste the hours away than popping a sheet of bubble wrap. But, you say, you’ve used up all the bubble wrap at work already? Well, just visit this site and you can pop endless amounts of bubble wrap bubbles. It may not be as gratifying as the real thing, but you can never run out of it.

Possible Boss Reaction: “Do you actually do any work here?”

Watching Paint Dry

One of the most pointless acts a person can do is watching paint dry. Now with the miracle of the Internet, you can do so at any time, especially company time! Fascinating premise for setting up a cam, although incredibly boring. Ah well, it’s better than actually working.

Possible Boss’s Reaction: “You’re watching paint dry on the Internet instead of finishing up the finer points on the Simmons account. If an employer could legally strangle their employees, I’d start with you first.”

Toilet Paper Unrolling

Isn’t virtual reality great? Now instead of making a mess while unrolling toilet paper, you can do it on the “Net. This website is guaranteed 100% to burn the unproductive hours away. See how much “spin” you can get on the toilet paper by moving your computer cursor fast and down on the roll.

Possible Boss’s Reaction: “You do realize that every moment you waste time on that website the company goes more and more bankrupt.”

Zombo

What site is this? Well, it’s Zombo.com! Welcome to Zombo.com. You can do anything on Zombo.com, especially if it has to do with staring at your monitor blankly as this website says how incredible it is. Show this to your befuddled co-workers while praising Zombo.com for its functionally and “Web 2.0″-ness.

Possible Boss’s Reaction: “Who or what is a Zombo? Wait, I don’t care. Just please, please do some actual work.”

Flight of the Hamsters

A great webgame which will also allow you to respond, “I’m flinging hamsters” when your boss asks you what you’re doing. Try to get the hamsters to stay airborne for as long as possible for more points. Maybe you’ll break the top score! It’ll take a lot of hamsters, though

Possible Boss’s Reaction: “You’re… flinging hamsters. I think you need a job evalution ASAP.”

Etch-A-Sketch

Remember the great toy that was Etch-A-Sketch from your childhood? Almost every kid owned one sometime during their youth. Now you can re-visit those nostalgic days by virtually playing an Etch-A-Sketch on this website. It’ll make 9 am go to 5 pm before you know it.

Possible Boss’s Reaction: “That’s a kid’s toy! You’re playing with a kid’s toy on company time? You’re killing me and the company!”

In Conclusion:

There are many other pointless websites; in fact, the Internet is full of time-wasting websites. But the above ten have a particular pointless-ness to them, one guaranteed to make your workday go by quicker and enrage your boss. Have fun with these sites and good luck on keeping your job!
