Listen to footsteps behind you

AWW YEAH Tim Hoe's Turkey BAcon Club For lunch WOOT WOOT

omg im doing the same RIGHT NOW

My computer faces away from anybody lol

anyhow.. anyone working in the tilbury area?

If you think that it isn't obvious when you're surfing then think again... I don't want to wish I'll will against anyone but when you're at work at the very least give it all you got...
I swear If I was of position, I would fire people on the spot... This is only because our company just laid off a number of people who work their butt off and hearing things like this makes me sick

^ taking the number 2?

aware.

best forum ever lol, better than /b/

checking in from work again

Depends on the work place. Most places don't care what you do as long as you get the job done.

i need a new cubicle, i hate how my monitor faces outwards, i need to switch pages whenever i hear footsteps

actually, it's the fact that they know what I'm doing that my boss agree to let me sit the way I am sitting right now. Hell he knows I am on RS, he knows I'm reading the paper, he knows and actively participates in my bejeweled games (by telling me I'm a dumb shit and wtf I didn't see that gem)

Why so much free time you ask? I'm just doing my work quicker then the speed of which they are given to me.

My job is to push out documents, receive documents, and make changes to technical drawings. When my coworkers can only give me 10 or so documents to push out per hour, and if I work my balls off I can push out 20 documents out, it leaves me with some time to burn. And with the quality issue, I don't actually need to rush anything to win myself free time. Hell I pick out mistakes I find in drawings and documents.

Keep in mind though this dosen't happen everyday, there might be days where I'm absolutely swamped with stuff such as a huge proposal or document retrieval day.


That being said though, we USED to have another person in my position that would also surf the web and do her own thing... and JUST THAT.
You give her any sort of work and she would shove it on the side and wait for later. She was gone in a week after I was hired on as part time to replace her full time work.

I had a co-worker who hung up a CD (with the back of it facing outwards) in a strategic location to act as a rear view mirror. :)

Yup. Everyone in my office browses the net, listens to music, etc. etc. We don't even have set times to work. As long as the job gets done before the deadline and the client is happy, that is all that matters.

I know what I need to do for then next two weeks. I can sit on RS all day today if I want. I can get up right now and go to Richmond Centre without asking anyone. But that just means I gotta work extra hard tomorrow to make sure I stay on pace so I don't pull an all-nighter before the deadline day.

Plus I work very efficiently so what I can do in a few hours, usually takes another worker double the time.

Face it - the younger generation of workers, while potentially very lazy, is able to work much more efficiently than the older generation.

Hell, I save so much time using keyboard shortcuts without having to move the mouse around and navigate through various menus... Coworkers always ask "how did you do that?!"

^ Yup.
It's amazing how it takes some of the older folks half an hour to write a 2-paragraph e-mail.

at work bored

You have no idea how amazed my older coworker was when i did the [Windows] + [D] combo in front of him.

He told me "Wow I can use this at home without my wife knowing what I'm looking at :fullofwin:"

^ HAHAHA made my morning

I don't know about why you guys are trying so hard to hide shit...

Maybe because the newer generation hasn't had their back broken yet by 30+ years of repetitive manual labor?
