what do you do when you work at an office and there is nothing to do?

Answer 1

Just help out with others or find something in the office that needs cleaned/organized. Just whatever you do, stay busy doing SOMEthing no matter how boring the task is.

If you just do noting at all, especially if you just started this job, they will most likley replace you.

Answer 2

I have worked in many offices and I have NEVER had nothing to do for very long. I clean my office, check for supplies, organize my desk, organize the supply cabinets, ask coworkers if I can help with their load, etc.
