How much work do you actually do at work?[views:11260][posts:62]_____________________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 9:58am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Since I don't give a shit about the temp job I'm doing, I have been doing as little as possible. I showed up 5 minutes late yesterday, then didn't start working for another 10. I moved as slowly as possible until my first 15 minute break, which I turned into 33. Took another 10 minutes to start "working" again...then moved even slower than before. Lunch time hit; 30 minutes became 55. Did another hour and a half of "work" followed by a 15 minute, or 29 minutes in MFR time, finished the day off with 45 minutes of minimal labor and left 10 minutes early. I'd say there was a total of 5 hours of work actually done, yet somehow I still finished everything I was supposed to and 1/4 of the work for today. I'm definitely doing the same shit today. I'm so glad I have RTTP to turn to every 10 seconds, haha. |

| _____________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 10:02am - arilliusbm ""] I'm so overwhelemd with work, and I hate my job more than one can imagine; hence, why I post on rttp during the day. it's really the only site that looks like an email when you're in text mode. I've got at least 2 weeks worth of straight work sitting on my desk right now |
| ______________________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 10:03am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] I wish I could do that. All I have is my phone. Better than nothing I suppose. |
| ________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 10:03am - dftg ""] lol I'm working right now. I came in early today to pick up some extra hours. extra hours of sitting here. |
| ______________________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 10:04am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] That last post was in response to Brian. I don't think I'd want that much work piling up, haha. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 10:05am - arilliusbm ""] there is literally a wall of insurance policies surrounding my computer right now. I've got Lupo's policy on my desk as well as The Black Rose |
| ______________________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 10:08am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] To be perfectly honest, I'd much rather be taking care of insurance paperwork than doing this shit ass warehouse job. My brain needs at least some sort of challenge beyond forcing the rest of my body to get up for work and deal with this bullshit. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 10:13am - ouchdrummer ""] about half of the day. I work 10 hours a day in my office, i actually work about 5 of it. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 10:17am - arilliusbm ""] lol, I wish it was just paperwork. but yea, warehouse job sucks. I actually miss doing roof construction now. I got in shape and got toned, then got paid under the table. almost died at that job but it's all good.. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 10:20am - orgymf@work ""] it depends on the day. let's put it this way....the less you see me post here, the more work i have. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 10:20am - the_reverend ""] [img] Bob Slydell: You see, what we're actually trying to do here is, we're trying to get a feel for how people spend their day at work... so, if you would, would you walk us through a typical day, for you? Peter Gibbons: Yeah. Bob Slydell: Great. Peter Gibbons: Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can't see me, heh heh - and, uh, after that I just sorta space out for about an hour. Bob Porter: Da-uh? Space out? Peter Gibbons: Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 10:23am - the_reverend ""] My job is odd. some days, I don't do anything but walk around talking to people or surfing for memorabilia. But typically, I do work in quick bursts. unfortunately, that means sometimes coding from 11pm til 1am when I've tied one on so that someone can have their test or tool working at 7am when they get in or so I can run my automation on a prototype device when it's not being used at 3am. |
| ______________________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 10:23am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] What sucks is that I have a really good work ethic...when it comes to shit I care about. This just makes me feel stagnant and gives me too much time to think about all the negative shit in my life. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 10:24am - the_reverend ""] you have a shitty job, what do you expect? |
| ___________________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 10:29am - largefreakatzero ""] I am mostly straight out, but I do get some breaks from the pain -- some days are not as busy as others. I spend part of my time in the office and part of my time on the road. I drive ALOT -- I bought my truck brand new in 2005 -- it now has 120,500 miles on it. My job sucks hard, but I get paid pretty well. |
| ______________________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 10:30am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Haha I expect nothing different. I just wish one of the good jobs I've applied to would go through. Fucking gay. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 20,2008 10:30am - Yeti ""] my job is painfully easy. i do handle a lot, but its not hard whatsoever. i really work about 20-30 minutes of every hour. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 10:33am - arilliusbm ""] I'm with MFR. I have really good work ethic if it's something I care about. I could give TWO FUCKING SHITS about my job. Now, if I was digging up an ancient village of Hobbits in Polynesia, fuck.. I'd be all over that. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 10:37am - archaeon ""] I probably work 95% of the time im suppose to. It's kinda hard to sit around at my place. But i do get to steal tons and tons of food. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 12:19pm - the_reverend ""] I bought my car in 2005 and it has 150K! |
| ______________________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 12:29pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] How many miles would be on it if you didn't go to shows 6 days a week though? |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 1:36pm - orgymf@work ""] the_reverend said:I bought my car in 2005 and it has 150K! i get so sick of driving/traffic. i put about 30,000 miles a year on my car, and spend about 2 and a half hours in traffic every day of the work week |
| ___________________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 1:41pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i just had a two hour team meeting followed by my lunch break...followed by me surfing the web for the next 6 hours. SCORE! |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 4:22pm - Dave_Maggot ""] i work at a gas station. my schedule always changes, so i can work from 10 and half hour days to 9 hour days. the past 3 months ive had 3 different bosses with 3 different ways of doing things. 1st boss i was always on my feet cleaning, then running up to ring people in, he got fired. a fill in boss came in. i could sit on my ass. my new boss came in, its kinda in the middle of the first 2. the ways of doing the paper work, counts. everything has changed 3 times in 3 months. i didnt go to college and never got my license. this is purgatory. both good and bad though. it varies. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 20,2008 4:57pm - Lamp ""] I work on commission. If I don't do any work, I don't make any money. I don't have set hours, just a set time to go in. Last night I was working until right before it got dark. Today was better. |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 5:31pm - DomesticTerror ""] before my lab went completely digital, i used to work in the darkroom. it was great. after opening and racking a truck of film, i had to sit in the darkroom and make sure nothing went wrong with the machine. i was the only one allowed in there while it was operating, so 4 half hour naps a day for me. the only job i didn't mind being hung over at work for. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 7:06pm - badsneakers ""] to much |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 20,2008 7:40pm - josh_hates_you ""] i weld and burn myself and breathe in caustic fumes at least 5 or 6 hours of the day. the rest of the time i sit there or walk around and if anyone says shit I tell them I don't get paid enough to weld and they can eat my shit if they wanna try writing me up on top of that. I have at least 5 no call no shows. come in late 2 or 3 times a month. came in completely shitfaced and or hungover multiple times, told 2 supervisors and 3 department leaders to go fuck themselves and engaged in full on shouting matches 2 of those 5 times. I have never even gotten a single warning. Other people come in 2 minutes late one time and get written up, so i try not to complain that much. |

| _______________________________ [Nov 21,2008 9:49am - dftg ""] I actually spend more time at work doing work for my other job/other projects than I spend doing work for my employer. FUCK YEAH! |
| ______________________________________________ [Nov 21,2008 10:00am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] This job is starting to get fun, trying to see how long I can milk breaks and involve myself more with my phone than the work I have to do. Hopefully soon I'll have a new job that is actually mentally engaging so I don't have to rely on RTTP to get me through the day, haha. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 21,2008 10:18am - Nobody_Cares ""] Most times I'm posting on here I'm at work (on my phone). Its Rent a Center, so I actually have a phone to my ear as I type this. I work 50 hours and its spent between calling non paying people, delivering their shit and/or taking it back, and selling them shit. My days are long but there is hanging out involved. Since I got promoted, I stay in the store more, stay on my phone or write rhymes. The best is when we go to other stores and I get to ride by myself to Lawrence, Haverhill, or Maine stores to pick up merchandise. The gayest thing is we close @ 7 but stay till 8 to do end of day crap. All I do then is lay on couches then. |

| _______________________________________ [Nov 21,2008 12:16pm - the_reverend ""] I worked temp jobs. the breast there were disgusting.. |
| __________________________________ [Nov 21,2008 12:21pm - dunwich ""] When I was working I was pretty much out straight constantly for the last four and a half years. I am pretty fidgety and I get bored easily, so it's for the best. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 21,2008 1:10pm - Nobody_Cares ""] Today rules. No road work, no deliveries. I'm listening to screw mixes of M.I.A. and Sabbath. There's a market basket next door, ill prob go there 5 times and peep those high school broads. Just made a chapstick and mountain dew run. |
| _____________________________________________ [Nov 21,2008 4:29pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Here's today's synopsis: 8:15-arrive, 15 minutes late. 8:25-start working with minimal effort. 9:00-take a quick stroll looking like I'm doing something important, for 10 minutes. 9:30-break time 10:15-"15" minute break over, back to "work." 11:00-sit down in a corner for 20 minutes. 12:10-lunch time...ate some delicious Indian food. 1:20-"30" minute break is up, back to work. 1:30-I decided an hour and 10 minutes for lunch wasn't enough, so I gave myself an extra 20. 2:00-sit down in a corner again for 10 minutes. 2:30-look at that, break time again. 3:20-"15" minutes are up, back to work. 3:45-take a walk for 10 minutes. 4:05-boss approves time sheet and says have a nice weekend...even though I was supposed to stay until 4:30. Out the door 25 minutes early. This is definitely getting fun. Bossman is an idiot. |

| _______________________________________________ [Nov 21,2008 8:37pm - IllinoisEnemaBradness ""] I work on copiers in about an 80 mile radius from Quincy IL. Most calls are a 15 minute drive tops, so I get to work at 8am, drink coffee and shoot the shit with my Greg(manager), Tim(tech) and LaDon Johnson(tech) who is SEVENTY FUCKING FIVE years old. He's really cool though. So I do that until 9 or so, go do a call or two, go back to the shop and see if anything else came in. Repeat. Somewhere in there is lunch, taking dumps and internetting. It's pretty laid back, just show up and do your job and all is well. |
