While I haven't done any of the below activities, I'm convinced they HAVE to be more exciting (and productive) than training on new systems for your job.
1. Arm wrestling an elephant
2. Shoveling dog poo
3. Cleaining a toilet with a toothbrush
4. 1000 jumping jacks
5. Watch billiards for 24 hours straight
The one activity that does not beat sitting through training is sitting through a 'Twilight' movie.
