    Or you could listen in on the background chatter and play "Buzzword Bingo" -- would kill two birds with one stone

    I'd take the opportunity to do any training your emp!oyer offers, as could be a quiet period and work levels may pick up again?

    Also offer to help others, ask for more work etc

    If the work levels drop further or things stay quiet over a longer period of time, worth looking for a job that is busier.  

    I've worked in jobs that were quiet, much better to be busy, though there are levels!

  • I usually find my productivity levels are highest by working for 30mins at a time then taking a 5min break. Anything longer than that it is easy to lose focus.
