You don't say what your job is or what the company does. Best use of your time is to use it to learn something, anything. If there are manuals, be they product or technology, read and learn. Study past documentation on past projects or products your company has produced or is producing. See if there are any computer based training products or tutorials available. Learn the corporate structure and how business is done. Ask others within your area if there is something you can help with, if there isn't then check outside your area. Do something that increases your value to the company. You are in the real world now, this isn't school anymore so don't expect things to be spoon fed to you as though you were an animal in a zoo. Initiative is a valuable commodity. You will be seen as a 'go-getter' rather than someone wasting company resources by playing on the internet. If there is a lay off who do you think that the company will keep? Someone who has looked for more to do and offered to help or someone who spent their days surfing?
