@draNgNon @camertron Thank you, I came here to post this but you were here before me :)
I actually have the xkcd tee shirt for this one. "I'm not slacking off, my code's compiling."
Anecdote time. The PDP11-45 at my university took ages to compile my Pascal code, and we were accessing it via a terminal emulator running on BBC micros. I cloned the emulator and tweaked it to play the Hallelujah Chorus when an asterisk appeared (end of compilation) so I could hear it from across the room.
