How do you kill time?

About being your own boss

At home after homework was done, and the table was tidied, we had to find ways of keeping busy till it was time to have dinner or it was time to sleep. This was called KILLING TIME.
Listening to radio Ceylon, Binaka Geetmala, Tintin and Phantom comics, walking to a friend’s house (for notes) and back, were popular time killers. Boys were allowed to meet at the corner shop for chai and chat.

At college it was a favourite expression. ‘Just killing time’ till the next class…We sat at canteens, stood around in libraries, or talked to kill time.

At office, wandering off for a smoke break was legit time killer. If you are not a smoker, too bad, no legit reasons for you! Except ofcourse the loo…but then too many trips could make them feel you are sick or preg! That is the fun of having someone watching over you. You break rules, and kill time.
But

If you are the boss, how do you kill time? That is like tripping over your shadow!!
You just can't.

So that is when you grow up? When you get to spend time and not kill it??
