I work maybe 6 hours per week, but get paid for 40 hours. I have nothing better to do during those 6 hours than post on AnandTech. It is driving me crazy.

We just consolidated two groups of employees, but the amount of work stayed the same. Since I now manage the group, I have no work to do. I assigned inventory to two people. I assigned the daily upkeep to two people. I am left with nothing, so underwhelmed.

You sound like a straight shooter with upper management written all over you.

I know how you feel. People think that free time is great, but too much of it can cause someone to go mad. There are only so many times you can browse digg and ATOT.

word to that. I probably do 2-3 hours of work per day and get paid for 8. It was great at the beginning, but you can only refresh ATOT so many times....

I run out of websites to check. I run out of ideas to make money by doing nothing while making money, doing nothing.

Frequent AT hiatuses. At one point, I maintained 100 ppd for over a week.

Indeed, I check Slashdot, AT, arstechnica, and bit-tech religiously I need more.

Not likely. The gravy train picked me up, and isn't stopping again for a long time.

I spent a couple of hours today trying to figure out how I could take my cat kayaking with me. The cat is lucky that I'm too lazy to actually build the carpeted platform I designed in my head while I was staring at my monitor.

Update your AT Member Gallery thread! ;) I know there's some, including myself, that've asked to have their pictures updated.

I agree with ya though, it sucks being at work with nothing to do. I'd rather stay busy, time goes by wayyyy faster.
