How many at work doing NOTHING today?

[edro]

How many of you are at work and are throwing paper airplanes around...... not answering the phones......and having department LAN games? (UT2k3, MOHAA, BF1942, Quake 3) :

Gotta love the Friday before Christmas shutdown. Actually, we have to work Monday, and I bet Monday will be even more of a blow-off!

Yay for laid back corporate America!

I have a few things to do, but it's only a half day today.

 

[LAUST]

90% of my time here is doing nothing, I'll also be leaving in about 1 hour... got to put in my full 3 hours on friday

 

[arod]

I'm doing all of the above.... Had the paper airplane contest earlier and just finished the first session of our lan game (Empire Earth because our slow ass computers cant play anything better).

 

[Hammer]

its kinda slow actually, i had some work waiting for me though so its not bad for me personally.

 

[Fausto]

/raises hand

Of course, the reason I'm not doing anything is because some dumbass cracked open the water main in front of the CDC so the county shut our water off "until further notice". I honestly don't know why they haven't sent us home since no one can do anything.

Do most of you guys get the next 2 weeks off?

 

[Viper GTS]

I'm here.

Call volume is lower than normal, should really start dropping around 11 AM (lunch time on the east coast).

By the time I leave it should be dead slow.

Heck, I wish I WAS at work right now! 2-1/2 weeks off is too much...just another 1-1/2 weeks to go until I go back to work! YAH!

I'm actually off today, but I have to work next Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, so I'll probably be doing nothing on those days.

 

[sohcrates]

pretty boring here...just got back from long lunch....rainy, sleepy day!

 

[StageLeft]

As you can tell by my posts I haven't done sh*t all in weeks now, primarily because I came in so late in this project that it's nearly impossible to do anything.

Christ I hate being a consultant.

 

[The Stigenator]

eating a heavy breakfast and working at the same time..
and oh yeah neffing too.

 

[Radiohead]

I've done squat yesterday and pretty much will do squat all day today.

I want to fire up some games, just don't know if I should since my computer screen faces towards my door & I'm right across from the kitchen, high traffic area.

Not really for reason as above

In fact not noly do I get 2 weeks off, but I may be getting a month off since there is a lag from when they need me back, if they will at all. I guess we'll see.

Thankfully about 3 days before I got that news I asked my boss to change me over from a bill pay scheme to a salaried one. Now that I won't be billing I'll get a healthy salary anyway!
