I go home to an empty nest and play with my cats while my wife thinks up more home tasks for me to slave away at. I'm currently building a catio just off the North side of our house because the stupid neighbors don't like my cats roaming, but that thing may end up bigger than the house when I'm finished. Otherwise it's computer games or the rare chainmaille project. In the summer the wife and I like to hike. Otherwise I just try to be alone.
Seriously? Downtime? Getting ready for changes at 9p after call center closes. Doing my best to log off for a bit before then for life. But new company we bought is now printing checks to our pcl Xerox system with postscript drivers. VCenter is down due to unknown auth changes that neither Broadcom or workspace one will admit to and now 2fa is broken. And someone wants to build a new physical dc but doesn’t have any hardware for the project. I drink during those precious few minutes of downtime…
I'm a Japanese N scale model train enthusiast so I may be working on my trains or viewing YouTube videos on model trains. I may be modding r/JapaneseNscale or playing GTAV Online or sleeping lol. I'm probably on the freaking computer whatever it is that I'm doing.
I've started walking again - it's helped a bit, as I've got of stuff happening outside of work, which is just killing me. Quite chuffed, as I've lost 5.6 KG since the 13th of October, but I still have another 8.7 KG, to get my BMI sorted out.

Drink. Because if I'm shit faced, on call goes to the next person.

You have downtime at work? Get paid to browse YouTube, reddit, learn new shit, or look for other jobs.

Gardening. Away from the screens, out in the sun, vitamin D, healthy microbes from the soil, phone on silent. Slows you the f down.

Read more about technology. Learn more powershell. Grow skill set.

Reddit, YouTube, tv, reading, house work, yard work, always something so never really feels like downtime.

Reddit, games on phone, cyber articles, YouTube shorts, and visit supermarket to stock up on snacks.

I copy others work and make it look like my own and then collect praise and paychecks

Paint on canvas, recline, movies, shows, documentaries. Things with little to no people. Hardest part of the bloody job; the people.

You mean in gaps in the day or at the evenings and weekend?
Gaps are for chores. Load/unload the dishwasher, stick on and hang up laundry, stuff like that.
My time off is hobbies and longer chores, normal stuff. My hobbies specifically are cooking, HEMA and playing/painting/building wargaming minis.
