Five Browser-Based Games To Close Out Your Work Day

Bo Knows Procrastination

When I was a nine-to-fiver, the afternoon hour between 3 pm and 4 pm was devastating.

When fire drills are happening left and right, that one hour reminds you just how little time remained to fix whatever fuck up was causing your boss to walk into your office every 15 minutes.

But when the shit isn’t flying and your job is relatively safe, that one hour can be even worse.  Especially on a Thursday or Friday before a big weekend.

Before you suck it up and actually work on that long-term project sitting on your To Do List, check out these little time-wasting gems.  All playable in your browser for free.

Note:  Be sure to turn your sound off before playing (rookie mistake).  Unless you’re sitting in a corner office.  In that case, don’t bother wasting time on video games, just head to the bar now.  Go ahead.  No one’s watching.
