What do you do when there's nothing to do?

[Chesler, Lynn]

In one of my jobs, the tech pubs team edited all the error messages.

...having a second go at sending this, because for all the 'the message's
content type was not explicitly allowed' response, I for one can't see
anything wrong with it...

I'm sure it's happened to us all at some point.  That moment when the
hectic work for the last release is just a distant memory, and the next
release is just a sparkle in R&D's eye.  You've updated all the
documentation according to the spec, done that re-indexing you were always
intending to get around to, created a new version of the training course,
read the more useful or interesting of the books and manuals lying
around...
 
What do you do next?
