At least tax dollars were well spent on my hard work.

Did you just use the terms "hard work" and "the government" in the same post?


BWUuuu hah hah ha hah hah HAH

It's a known fact that contractors have to do the regular employees' work. 🙂 So by default, you work twice as hard, but get treated half as well (in most cases).

I only need to work when the people who work for me can't figure out the problem...

Typical work day

1.5 implementing projects for my work team

1.0 answering stupid questions

1.0 meetings

2 hrs for lunch

The rest the time I am surfing the net.

for about 10.5 hours I work hard. I don't have time to slack off at work. (11.5 hour shift, 30 min lunch, and 2 15min breaks)

depends on the day. Some days out of my 8 hours I may only do about 2. Some days its a full 8. Probably averages out to about 4 to 5 since most of the days there isn't a whole lot to do.

Wow, I'm going to go out and become an employee. I'm one of the owners and I'm always working - like now, it may not look like work but I'm on hold with 2 different tech vendors and waiting for whichever picks up first. I consider this a "break" because I've been doing payroll since about 5:30 AM (seven hours straight, new projects, new employees) and I'm eating lunch here, PBJ, for the curious. THEN I'll get dressed and go to the office - I'm on the computer at home.

[skateallday]

well while i am at work i do work. i only work till everything is done. when we are done then we leave.

 

[pyonir]

98% of my posts are from work.

You do the math.

 

[AstIsis]

I am always at work since I can do so from home. As for actual hours, ~ 10-12 daily including conference calls.

 

[benliong]

I'm here basically 9-5 at the lab. So I'm here 8 hours minus lunch.

Real work hours really varies. Sometimes we have some much work to do that I have to stay till 8. But typical day I'd be doing like 4-5 hours of work. The rest is just posting and "spacing out"

That is exactly it. Only cool part about that job is that they keep on calling me back to work for them... without even applying for the job:Q The pay was better than all of my friends had too for a summer job, but I don't think I am going to go back.

Yea, about 15 minutes every 4 hour shift.

Yeah I'm posting from work right now.... Depends on if you consider supervising the computer lab that I'm based out of work or not. I usually work for an hour in the morning then sit around here for a while, during that time supervising the lab and answering stupid questions. Then I'll take an extra long lunch, come back and surf and supervise some more. Of course though when it's busy and I have important stuff to do I work 55minutes out of evry hour.
