I work at a help desk and for the most part there's a lot of down time. I usually just watch YouTube or play some shitty flash games but lately I've been sick of doing that for hours. What are some things that either productive or will help me past the time that I can do from the computer I sit at all day. I'm not really supposed to install anything in them. It can be games, programming, reading, anything.

Write literature, save it on evernote or something.
Get a pen tablet if you like that and draw.
Take part in a forum.
I know it's easy but DO NOT waste your time on that youtube crap.

If you're a decent writer and researcher, you can write papers and get paid.
But since I have you the idea, you will have to do mine for free.

Learn some shit for free while getting paid at work. Take the Server Fundamentals test in your free time and get your MTA. You can put it after your name and it doesn't expire.

i always find cy.tube to be fun. get to watch stuff and chat with other people.
or you could go to specific websites to learn something like math or writing.
you could learn stuff off youtube like crocheting. find an easy pattern (like a scarf), see what size hooks & yarn you need, buy it, then practice at work.
Listen to a podcast or audio book. learn a new language.

I assume that you're qualified for something computer software related, if you're at a help desk. I have a good suggestion, no scam, but I don't want to shill a referral program here out in the open.
Tell me your qualifications, and give me a way to reach you off of 4chan.

Well I'm currently a full time student. Computer Science with a concentration in information systems. Currently my help desk position is the only experience I have and am looking for anything else.

So you don't yet have a degree or any certification? I don't think I can set you up, sorry.
