I hate not doing anything at work(i work at a fast food place) i'm always looking for things to do, wiping surfaces that have been wiped 8 times before, it's not exactly compulsive....

ok... i'm just getting back at my office.

it's funny how all these IT people share a common unproductiveness.

wow.. that whole subway for lunch, that's me too.

imagine if we all decided to join our efforts/skills and do something productive.

i bet you we could find the cure to aids. :)

you're supposed to carve out your own little side projects. thats a mark of a self-starter.

I dunno, the position that I'm in starts at 48k. Is that good for Toledo, Ohio area?

Are you hiring???

I don't think we need anyone else to do nothing.

I fear today is going to be the same as last week. I've yet to answer any phone calls.
