What do you do when rendering

What do you do when rendering?
I want to know. I had this short animation and it took over 44 hour to render.
My computer was powerless. I couldn't do anything.
So I did what ever came in to my head. Played the gitare(1 hour/2), talked to my dad(2 hours, he never stops talking, good thing thou, something to do.), and I went to school (6:15 hours), O yes I slept and watched TV.

What does ever one else do?
most the time I watched it slowly create it's self. (PS I had advance lighting on, the one were light hit's the floor and bounces, big mistake)

Cool I can't wait to see.
Better be interesting, but trueful.

I always render animations in parts (example frame 0-100, frame 100-200....) then I connect parts in some video editor program.
And while animation is rendering best thing to do is sleep! Hell yeah!

worth every penny...~output quality wise is better(rendering wise-well..u should guess the answer if your computer is not powerful)
* i normally render section by section(similar to maksy)..estimate your file size & per-image render time coz i sleep during rendering and woke up happy when its finished. :)
