Things I do when I'm on hold

Today I was on hold for one hour.  I gave up.  But before I gave up, I got some other things done.  I usually do, but I usually don't wait on hold that long.  I'm usually trying to do something that I can drop when they finally do come to the phone, and something that's rather quiet so that I can hear them when they answer.

I began to wonder what other people do when they're on hold.  Oh, how I wish I could see that.  I know that I can't do that.  But if you tell me what you do, at least I can imagine.   Here is what I did today while I was on hold:

• Scribbled
• Answered email
• Added items to my to do list
• Filed my nails
• Washed dishes
• Prepared a snack
• Ate the snack
• Paced

What do you do when you're on hold?
