Time to kill

I have time to kill. :P Not 'it is a time to kill'.

Can anybody suggest me ways to kill time?

I need to kill time before I go home. On 16th.

I've got a job!

I was the dog yesterday since it was my day. I got placed 5 days before I wanted. I was selected 5 days before my dream company was to visit. So is it a good thing to be placed before what you wished or bad?

But at the end of the day Oracle application development group is not a bad company to work in if you want to start a career in software.

All the time I studied turbo machinery, power plant engineering, fluid mechanics, manufacturing, thermodynamics and finally no use for placements. But I never got a chance to show this knowledge. :) Even for this company I prepared nothing in the name of IT. Only 2-3 hours preparation on the day of the interview. Only few simple questions were asked which I answered somehow. More than half of the interview was on this project which I had done in 2nd year - StockSim. I think this really impressed them and bought the offer.

Is it possible to go back to core field after working in software industry. I guess not. I have 6 months left to make a decision. I wanted to work in core mechanical engineering sector. But at the same time I know that I enjoy programming and I can do good in this industry. Seems like I tough decision to make given the condition that I already have one good start-up kit in my basket for software industry. Wherever I go I'll just try to be good in whatever I do.
