I've started scheduling random meetings and marking them as private in my calendar. I have invited four or five fellow co-sufferers who are on the same floor as me and together we play Office Bingo.
To play office bingo you create your wordset (synergy, proactive, compliance, etc...), and then create a bingo board that looks like either a schedule or something similar (so it's not quite as obvious that you're just playing bingo) and then listen to the conversations around you.
With the obnoxious jackasses in the next aisle over, this is a charm for me - especially compared to people across the floor from me. The real trick is announcing you have bingo (easier to do if the Office Bingo 'meeting' includes a conference call) without informing the floor you're not doing any work.
