Phone calls were a good way to waste time. Magazines, crossword puzzles etc could easily be shuffled under papers if a supervisor came around. Doodling was probably the most common way to slack off at your desk.
I bet most of you shiftless slackers complain about socialists giving away money

"Computers" with the power of a hundredth of an iphone.
More like 1/100,000, but irrelevant.
They still had computers, and they had an on-board flight computer.
Kill Russkies.

Um... their jobs.

the fact that you put the word computers in quotes makes me think that you don't know anything about hardware.
In 50 years will our macines not be considered computers?

I played with myself in the bathroom.
Youngsters have the internet, and the oldies drank and sexually harassed their secretaries. The way of the world.

Worked.
Grabbed women's butts and boobs.
Funny you should bring up pooping. Back in my pre-internet days, I too made a production out of poo. So much so that one evening as my police career wound to a close, and I had time to kill but didn't have to go to the bathroom, I calculated how much money I made on the porcelain throne.
My hourly wage at the end was $24/hr. I rarely spent less than 20 minutes indisposed. That's $8 per dump, and I averaged 1 per shift. That's $40 per week, or $1,920 per year. Over the course of my career, with allowances for scheduling (8 hour versus 12 hours shifts, vacations and wage-adjustments) I made about $31,200 going to the bathroom. One more reason people hate the police.

Yeah. That's where your formerly obese co-worker got more praise for her 5 hr marathon than you got for your 15min 5k.
Rebooted the frozen IBM PC hourly if not more. Worked 75 hours a week getting a company off the ground and never becoming a partner. Getting ready to change things for the better and believing in self before others.

Good point. Without computers, we got people to the moon. Now we need the Russians to get us just to outer space.
Substitute Polacks for Russians and we'ed still be using our fingers to circle Youranus. So I guess we could have less reliable space age friends than the Ruskies. Skol!!!
