How do you pass the time during your Water Changes?

I am sitting here now waiting patiently for 150 gallons to slowly be pumped into my tank via garden hose. I usually listen to music on my computer or lurk around this forum. What do you guys do to pass the time??/

With my big tanks I go watch t.v and with my smaller tanks I watch it. Or sometimes start cleaning another tank

I watch it fill or do stuff on my other tanks.

those of you who leave the room when filling, be VERY carefull..

many a flood has been started by going to do something else, getting distracted, and forgetting for a moment.

major brain fart moment. a wet brain fart moment too LOL

I go on here . MY monitor almost touches my tank so there is no chance of me forgetting
