well its like....i HATE not working....I feel like its a waste of both the company's and my time. They shouldnt have to pay me for doing nothing,.....but I dunno what else to do. I know this isint most ppls work ethics but its just how I was raised. I might start doing random office stuff no one else will do (bring paper to the copy machine etc.)

I'll never understand people who b!tch about being bored at work. At least your getting paid for your boredom.

honestly I dont think I would. I like being occupied and the time goes MUCH faster when you are actually DOING stuff!

Maybe not just lazy, but differing work ethic.
I'm in your shoes. Sitting here waiting for my supervisor to bring the truck in so we can go to the ladfill with our route trash.

I feel terrible. I'm doing nothing!

I know exactly how you guys feel. I just finished photocopying a bunch of stuff for some shipping invoices. That's all my work for today. So I'm basically done, yet I'm not off until 5. I'll probably be leaving at three, since nobody notices if I'm gone or not.

Oh well, means more time for BF2!

It's an ebb and flow environment here. Right now it's really busy but in a few weeks I won't have jack to do for a week or so. And I am going to enjoy that quite time.

I suppose.....I also do part time work in a small shop and its off and on in terms of business...but I still feel bad when theres nothing to do and usually end up just cleaning some random stuff that doesnt need to be cleaned
