Sip coffee (decaf only)
Dust the desk
Pat the dog (she's always at, or next to my feet)
Polish my glasses.
Clean the screen with"Endust for electronics."
Switch clothes from washer to dryer.
Fold dried clothes
Browse a catalogue (Christmas editions proliferating like hangers in an unused closet)
And when desperate and all the above done :

Blow on the screen to make it show stuff (it always worked for my Dad at stop lights)
sometimes it works --strains of eerie music in background

Reading this over it seems these are all girl things ... what do you guys do?
