6 web distractions to pass the time if you're stuck in work

We feel for you, we really do.

SO YOU’RE IN work and you barely got a ‘holiday’ at all over Christmas. You’re sick of people moaning about how they don’t know what day it is or their sleep pattern is ruined, as you haven’t had the opportunity to experience either.

Fear not, we’ve put together a few distractions that may just make that clock tick a little faster. You’re almost there, the last few hours are always the worst.

1. Challenge your co-workers to a game of QuizUp

QuizUp is the new must-have social quiz game app thingy. You can challenge friends to a quiz-off and manically gloat when you beat them in the Fruit & Vegetable round.

2. Hit the 90s button

Fan of the 90s? Need some tunes? Look no further than the 90s button. The YouTube video generator will throw you an amazing retro pop tune and sure by the time you’ve listened to a few three minute tunes it’ll be home time. Make your co-workers’ day go slower by singing along with great enthusiasm.

3. Get lost in a web hole

There are way too many YouTube videos and Wikipedia entries to see, so sometimes, the best thing to do is just let the internet choose for you.

If it’s knowledge you’re after, go to Wikipedia, choose ‘random article’, lose precious moments.
