The "I'm at work, but not working" thread

[mjkoehler]

oh my fucking god.....will this day just end. I feel like I am watching paint dry. I have to stay until close today as we have a 200+ person department off for a bowling trip and I and the emergency contact for our plants. I have dicked around on every website I can legally do here at work. I haven't gotten a phone call since about 9 Am and I haven't gotten an email in several hours. aaaaarrrrgh let me go home. I'd rather sit on my ass and home and do nothing then here and do nothing. I get paid either way.

I have 7 files to close out and it's not happening....

-Listening to WILCO/Ghost is Born
-Just got through throwing the softball with our intern
-Checking the radar for rain
-on-line looking for ash catcher replacement part for my Weber grill
-trying to figure out the last time Florida lost 3 games in a row
-contemplating the passion of the garbage man

I love my job.
I hate paperwork.
Paperwork is part of my job...

Hmmm, maybe I need a break, go shoot hoops outside.

Sadly I won't be posting in this thread anymore.   :-/

Started my new job yesterday; it's pretty good.  Nine hours of semi-mindless physical labour and I get to work with one of my best friends.  Exactly what I want so I can save some money over winter.  The hours are awesome too (6am - 3pm); It's nice to be off work with more than just an hour or two of sunlight left in the day.

I'm sooooooooooo fucking bored. took a 2 hour lunch with my wife (sadly no nooner  ::)), jamming to a bunch of shit on the IPod, finished Christmas shopping, writing chords/music for some songs my 9 year old wrote (that are Harry Potter themed and are glorious, K you would appreciate them), and if I had my guitar with me, I would be playing it for my co-workers at scary levels.

Goodness I love slow lets not do a fucking thing since its the end of the year Fridays!!!!!

Good lord is it friggin slow today. Let me go home already to start my 3 day weekend.  I would rather run a wood plain down my shin than be here right now.

Sweet Jesus, tomorrow is going to be one fo those days. I have to work til 8:30pm athe Borders Cafe on the FOURTH OF FUCKING JULY. Who's going to come in and ask for a half-caf skinny dry cappuccino at 7pm on the 4th of July? Oh, that's right. Absolutely no one.

"Yeah, I was thinking about watching fireworks, but I decided I needed a last-minute book instead...."

I love managers that seriously don't understand the fact that you can have a life outside of work.
