what are you doing hanging out on standby?

hey gents !

i,m working for a company doing business aviation , freight and ambulance (mostly human organs ) . in most cases i am several consecutive days on and away from home -living then in a private company room directly at the airport. ( my home is by car 3 hours by car away from my company)

when we do not fly we are at standby here, like currently. a good idea would be to open a nice bottle of scotch whiskey when away from home :-) , but of course this is not an option since an organic ambulance flight or cargo may happen at the most crazy hours middle in the night . ( its late evening now in germany)

on the other side it may happen that you hang out not only the night but also the entire next day...

so my question to all the fellows working a similar rooster, what are you prefer to do hanging out on standby far away from home ?

best regards !
