If you had a lot of free time at work, and a computer and internet, what would you do?

I sit in an office all day for eight hours. I'm kind of a one man department and I am fortunate I guess in that i have a LOT of downtime. It's cyclical, and I can manage work as it comes in, but in an average pace, I have half the day free, sometimes more.

I have a computer, internet access, and can even leave the office on occasion as needed without issue. And I completely feel like Im not taking advantage of this, SO IM LOOKING FOR SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS.

In the end, I'm not exactly happy about this because although it might sound great at first, it gets very boring and can make for some dull days. I've even considered a career change to something more rewarding but haven't figured out what that would be. I work as a financial analyst now.

I do enjoy reading and writing, and so I often write or read eBooks, but I'm looking for more.

I've considered getting some kind of education online to make a career change, but haven't found many worthwhile degrees online, and know its a tough time to try and change careers anyway. I've also considered having some kind of online businessness, but have never really found a legit opportunity for this.

So im open and looking for your insight!

Ya, pretty much doing it today. 4 or 5 hours of YA. Probably a few hours for breakfast and lunch. Maybe take a walk. Go through my emails. Actually, love this job. Do also get to read a lot of books and even do some writing.
