I've got to credit the title of this thread to Kel. Anyways, what's up working folk?
Not much better than hitting this forum while on the clock. Lunch time in half an hour!
you know it.
i am eating onion rings right now and killing time until 1 when these people come in to record a commercial.
cheers, "workers!" [smiley=beer.gif]
I'm not at work now, but my job consists of doing a lot of nothing sometimes.
my new favorite thread :)
I just spent about 20 minutes playing with this weird pencil that could bend unusually far before snapping. I traced it out.....got to about 44 degrees before the thing snapped. No, it wasnt a rubber pencil, just a special pencil. Well now that game is over. Yeah...it's a slow day.
Back to work I suppose.
Busted.
Kicked back with a nice cuppa, Supergrass playing, watching my phone that hasn't rang in six hour (thank goodness), looking at my empty inbox, and watching the girl next to me inspect her sunburn and complaining about tan lines. I of couse am encouraging a demonstration. They have to be judged don't they? Slow day in pet food land today to say the least.
And no, I ain't going home early as that means lawn mowing and screaming kids.
it is dead here. i am so bored it is ridiculous. i have everything ready for the weekend, and everyone has gone home--but me. and i am here for 1.5 more hours. bored and lonely. oh well. at least i have the interweb.
I'm having a pretty easy afternoon. I maybe have, at the most, forty minutes of work left to do and two and a half hours to do it. Then it's a 3-day weekend! ;D
It's only 3:00 here and my boss just left...until NEXT WEDNESDAY!!! ;D
Just one more hour remaining. I've officially turned my mind off, and my body is just chilling in my chair listening to Grinderman.
Can't wait for our Friday-post-work-weekly-drink!
Good morning from my office!!! ;D
I'm actually doing some work today as I'm jetting out early, but there's still time to hit the forum of course.
"workers"
ha ha love it Meg!!! Hi from my desk! :D
Waas Sapening Peeps!!!!
Get back to work! ;)
Still nursing a healthy bourbon hangover from last night. Today's entire production has consisted of about three things, then a good hour and half lunch, followed by sitting here on the forum till about a half an hour from now, when I split for the day.
Life is good. :P
i do not want to be inside today. i wish i could find a job that paid me to go swimming. yeah. that'd be sweet. 8-)
PC Load Letter?! :-/
I just spent 25 minutes trying to fax something to Norway. Still haven't got it figured. >:(
I just got to work, and I can already tell it's gonna be one of those days. I took the day off yesterday to climb a mountain in the sun, what a good choice that was, wish I had never climbed down.

It's going to be a long day...

I hear that! Cannot wait until this day is over. My desk is a mess and I just had the client from hell. Lunch soon though!
today was a complete waste, i did nothing all day. felt awesome. happy friday everyone!
WEEKEND TIME BABY!!!
;D ;D
i'm in class right now, just watching the OBH Conan video. doing nothing 8-)
god, someone should take me away from the internet... getting NO work done at all lately.... distractions galore
I luv it when worthless 2 hour meetings get cancelled. I can sit around doing nuttin. Hell last Friday, I sat in my office and played guitar most of the day. Kind of a Ricky Garviseque moment. Probably will do the same this Friday too.
About half an hour ago I was out with the work van to pick up our parts order when "Gimme Shelter" came on the radio. Needless to say, windows were rolled down, the volume cranked and I drove around until it was over then came back to work.
i got sent home from work. 8-)
Oh man, this is too funny. And YES, Gimme Shelter with the windows down is a great reason to keep on driving.
I really should be getting things done right now, but I've just got that pre-show excitement/day-dreaminess for the Arcade Fire tonight. Been doing a little work, mostly just listening to music and reading Arcade Fire concert reviews. I've got this forum window shrunken down into the bottom corner of my monitor, hiding it when I hear people walk by behind me.
Friday afternoon...power on through...
Good morning all!
I'm sitting here with a stack of papers in front of me, pretending to look busy while planning my Hold Steady voyage for August.
;D

In this day and age PCs should all really come with a 'boss button'
That's gotta be as important as the @ mark.
You just hit one key & this kinda thing pops up on the screen:

;D you're 100% correct ;D
My work load seems to have doubled in the past few weeks yet I still feel the need to screw around on the internet because if I don't let the extra work pile up a little bit they may think I need more work all the time!
Guess who's boss is away for the rest of the week?! Oh man, I'm going to slack off so much. :D
I just can't seem to concentrate today, or yesterday. And probably not tomorrow either. ::) Think I'll take a walk and pick up Icky Thump.
That's actually what I'm just listening to right now. I'm really loving it. Not too sure why I'm on the net, I've got a sizeable workload for this week.

Yeah, this week was a total write-off, especially today. ;D

Shit, this actually looks like the reports that I run on a daily basis. ugh.
Me posting here could finally convince my boss that I don't need to get here at 5:30 AM
i got called in today.
:(
i am putting everything in automation and leaving this mother in about 15, so it's ok.
Good morning! At this moment, the At Dawn/Tennesse Fire Demos Package and my cup of coffee are the only things keeping me awake.
somedays, i really don't want to be here. like, i would have taken a sick day today if i had the privilidge of a sick day. blaaaaahasdfjkl;.
Man alive, I haven't worked a full Saturday in a few months, today's going to be rough. Just one other person besides myself here today, we spend the first 45 minutes on the clock having coffee and now I've retired to my office to try do some catch-up/surf the net. ;D
I'm with you bro. I got the next 2 saturdays but 2 weeks vacation after that. Lollapalooza here we come!
QuoteI'm with you bro. I got the next 2 saturdays but 2 weeks vacation after that. Lollapalooza here we come!
Bad-ass!
Myself, I've got two more weeks (sans Saturdays!) then one week off. Toronto and Montreal here I come!
Killer! I always have to remind myself that work can't be that bad if I can do this most of the day. Also being in the gaming industry there's always that element of "fun".
I can bullshit with guests and whatnot, I don't have to put my serious face on to much.
I'm REALLY busy today at work. (Busy working on my avatar..)

I haven't accomplished a single thing as of yet this morning, and it'll soon be coffee time!
::) :-/ 8-)

Working is losing. At least tomorrow is my last day for two weeks. I love vacayshunzzz
I am having to run some seriously long reports. Thankfully they are taking their sweet ass time in running so I can kick back and listen to some tunage today. Running their the entire Okkervil River and The National catalogs.....and sneaking out periodically to walk around the campus here to enjoys the glorious low 80's fall temps.
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.
today is boss' day...
so someone brought breakfast for all of us...
and then someone brought lunch.
all i have done today is EAT. :)
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 seriously fucking the dog today. i might even go take a nap in the other room.
yeah, that's right, you got a BADASS REBEL in the office today, coworker. I MIGHT EVEN HAVE A BEER.
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!!!!!
i am supposed to be doing a LOT of things (that are boring), and i got sucked in. but i mean, really. "thrusting in my face" was worth it.
shit. i figured kyjed started this thread since he works for the state and all.....
I'm so damn bored I'm pretty sure I've seen every site my computer will allow me. CUBICLES SUCK ASS!!!!!!
Soooooooo fucking bored today and I cannot leave early either. Man o man let 4PM get here soon.
yes and i've been training someone all week....it's clearly cut into my internet time! 5:30 can't come soon enough...
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.
this is what it looks like when i'm not transcribing format sheets.
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.
