same here. i can go weeks with doing only about 15-20 minutes of work per day in an 8 hour day.

on the flip side, some days i am completely swamped because everything decided to go wrong, but those tend to be rare.

its f-ing boring as hell.

what i did today:
5 minute report
replaced a printer (maybe 20 minutes)
installed a scanner and showed the girl how to use it (maybe like 15 minutes max)
set a guy up to use reporting software (about 5 minutes)

So i've worked about 45 minutes all day today. this is why my post count is so high.

on one hand, i shouldn't complain because i'm being paid to sit and read and post on ATOT, lol. but as i said earlier, its boring as hell most of the time.
