So this is weird

[SarcasticDwarf]

I am an "intern" at a non-academic department at my university and have been here for three months. I generally work 2x 8's (though I have taken two days off in the past six weeks).


I think the last time I saw my boss (and therefore the last time I have *anything* to do) was sometime around early November. Getting paid for doing nothing is nice and all, but this is just plain weird. Note that I have not had *any* communication with my boss either, even after I left a message on her cell phone.

as long as they don't move you down to the basement, you're ok

Yeah


Even weirder is there is one full time person under my boss who has been here only once or twice in that time, and HER boss (who I never have any contact with) has been gone just as much. I'm tempted to send a "wtf am I doing here" e-mail to her.

welcome to a state job and university work where your not a professor just enjoy the paycheck

<- work in univ setting - hadn't seen boss in weeks and when he finally came around STILL had nothing for me to do.

So how does one pass the time?


Sadly, in three months of being here, I have done *maybe* six hours of work. God only know what I can put on my resume when I leave here.

dude, I can bring him back for you if you want.

Make up your mind what you wish for at night, I have the hole already dug.

i worked for my school while i was there and in the summer, very little to do, so it was similar, i would do 1 of 4 things

1) Nef all day
2) watch cartoons on the computer Fam Guy/Futrama that were streaming on winamp at that time
3) play NES/SNES roms
4) work if there was any

Hmmm, let's see. You haven't seen your boss in a month and your screen name is SarcasticDwarf. I'd say Snow White simply got sick and tired of your attitude!

You could be working for my previous boss, but I doubt it heh. She started pulling this crap except that I had to do all of her work - I got her canned. Nice.

When I worked help desk for the library at my college, all I did was remote desktop to my dorm computer and listened to my music. I also used the time to do all my homework.

I would rather I had to do all her work than not have anything to do (incidentally, my last job was doing what she does and a bit more--so my skills are not being used as it is).
