Read newspapers or talked to people. It was a different time. They didn't know any better.

Take a nap on the toilet

I had toilet-napping shoes just in case anyone was checking shoes under the stalls so they wouldn't match my nap shoes with my work shoes

Depends on where you worked. Some places kept me too busy. I've often wondered what it was like to have a quiet job where you actually had free time.

Internet on desktop computers. Or games on portable systems. Back during 5th gen Pokemon, a few people had the games. So we would just do entralink / funfest missions.

It used to take a lot longer to do stuff. Before computers everything had to be done on paper. People had to use typewriters (go far enough back, and they were mechanical), and documents had to be stored in file cabinets. Researching information required making phone calls, consulting books, and going to the library.

The trick was to befriend the manager that smoked and got extra breaks by smoking with them.
