[LOTR] How did the Goblins and the Balrog pass the time in Moria?

Did they work? Play cards? Walk around? Or were they just chillin until something exciting happened?

Goblins have lives, you know. They hunt, build homes, raise families. They have their own art, their own culture. They're not automatons of evil. 

As for Durin's Bane, it was been sleeping for 3000 years before the dwarves woke it up. It had probably been spending time renewing itself, communing with the world, trying to find out current events.
