Anyone ever do nothing at work all day??

[miniMUNCH]

Boy, it almost never happens...but I did almost nothing of value today at work. I did one report on a cleaning study and that's it.

I was a total worthless piece of sh1t most of the day...I sat on AT and became a Golden member (okay, so my day wasn't a total waste) and browsed some ebay and Linux sites, read some AT articles...

The last month I've been so busy I usually miss lunch altogether and end up eating it while I answer emails at 6:00 in the evening...hell, I haven't gone to the gym in month...I used to go at lunch-time.

Anyone else care to fess up?

right here.... one of my jobs i get around 2-5 emails, 0-5 faxes, and 0-3 phone calls every 5 hours. it's very relaxed.

 

[trmiv]

Yep, today. I burned a CD for my boss, and replaced an HP laser jet printer cartridge, and that was it. The rest of the time I sat in my office and read AT and some other sites.

 

[Soybomb]

Only everyday. I absolutely hate it. I hate having nothing to do, I feel damn worthless. I'm looking for a new job actually.

 

[jehh]

Well damm, how do I get that job?

 

[cherrytwist]

I'm doing nothing at work right now!

 

[Stallion]

I'm slaving away right now as I type this.

 

[flavio]

Yep doing nothing at work right now. Thinking about taking a nap.

 

[trmiv]

cherrytwist, Stallion, flavio: Do you guys work the graveyard shift or something? I would hate to be stuck at work doing nothing this late.

 

[JovanaLuna]

You mean, you actually have jobs? Gasp!

10pm - 6am doing web dev stuff if I need to. What's to hate? I'm all by myself, have some tunes on, I was learning some new software earlier, and like I said....I might get a nap


I dig it.

 

[JonnyDuke]

Yep... not doing anything but posting, and that's pretty much what I do every night. In fact, with my job it's actually a good thing that I have nothing to do all night. Otherwise all h3ll is breaking loose!

 

[JovanaLuna]

You guys are pimpin! I hope I have a job like that when I get older...surely that will put all of my education to good use!

 

[JonnyDuke]

Graveyard shift is cool isn't it? Well... sometimes.

 

[satori]

Hey, here's the key to being succesful in your career... it's not what you do... it's what the people above you >think< you do.

 

[Stallion]

Yep working Graveyard. 11:30-6:30am. Been doing it for 7 years and it is really starting to wear on me.

It's nice and quite, well not quite but there are only a few managers and just a handful of employees. And in a few months there won't be any employees.

 

[MCS]

Yesterday I didnt do much either. Set up a new P3 1Ghz machine that we had arrive, that was about it really. I visit AT mostly from work

Sssshhhh

 

[DumbQuestion]

Doing nothing now! Out of 10 hours work I do 1h and 43min of work. And I work 4 days a week.
Very boring though.

 

[Rage187]

What you talking about, I work HERE...


I get home from work about 1:30AM, and I put in a solid 8 hours here at AT..


I wonder when I get paid...

 

[cherrytwist]

Ugh. The boredom is a killer. And due to a combination of ignorance and the nimda virus, we are no longer allowed to use chat programs. Though, I'm sure that will blow over soon enough (besides, there are always web-based chat clients ). But who wants to chat anyway?

I'm just trying to determine how much more money on average I spend shopping online since I've gotten this job.

Oh, and there's always Scrabble .

This is Oh so very true. If I spend too much time "Windows shopping", it is inevitable that I am eventually going to order something.

 

[flavio]

I don't get bored really ever. Between music, forums, software, and games I sometimes am surprised it's time to go home already.

 

[Stallion]

I wish they allowed us to load games as I would be playing HL and CS all night.

 

[flavio]

They gave me a laptop which I have UT, AoE, and Fallout Tactics on at the moment. I take it with me when I leave so there is zero chance anyone will ever know what I have on it.

 

[Stallion]

some of the guys had Quake load on a couple and played a little one on one but I have yet to try and risk it. Besides my mouse is built in to the key board and it's a pain to use espescially when I would be trying to shoot terrorists.
