You may be at work, busy as ever. You may be on the road, on a sales trip or vacation. You may also be at home, repetitively clicking on that button that might just let you into the virtual world we all love. Click, click, click...and the result is always the same: "Unable to connect to server."
What do you do during your downtime?
I, personally, enjoy a few hours with Youtube. If I really feel the withdrawal symptoms, I may even start clicking on game-play links...you know, just so it feels like I might be playing if I squint hard enough.
Need some good ideas on how to pass the time?
-
Troll the World of Warcraft forums to make it harder for people to read/post.
-
Make a few batches of cookies, and eat them all. Be sure to taunt as many people/family members/pets with said cookies. Do not share.
-
Travel to and then picket Blizzard's corporate offices until the servers come back up.
-
Become and Air Guitar world champion.
-
Attempt to perfect the jet propelled paper airplane.
(Disclaimer: do not attempt these methods of time passage unless you are professional time traveler, troll, baker, eater, picketer, learner, or rocket scientist. I'm not liable for your entertaining exploits and/or injuries.)

Star Trek-TNG is filling the void acceptably.

Sit around, thinking about how I said I was going to clean the kitchen during the downtime.

If I was home - I'd be playing DDR or Guitar Hero on my PS2...alas I'm at work - so I stare at the computer screen until WoW Insider, my guild forums, or the WoW forums update with new posts - then ravenously swallow up all those beautiful distracting words before going back to the crushing reality that is real life.

Must be nice to not have (or need, apparently) a frickin' job, concerned only with what to fill one's empty, fallow life with during maintenance. heh. This is not directed at anyone in particular; only the faceless, anonymous players we all use as the focus of our jabs.
