when i do work then yes i tend to slack off and do more posting on here and looking at the internet than anyone realises. i like those days when no one else is around and you can just sit back and read.

Today really is one of those days for me.

Me too.

I'm pretty much responsible for myself but I shouldn't goof off as much as I do (i.e., post here!).

About the guy who got fired--I would have started doing something, anything, just so I'd have something to say if I ever got caught. "Oh, yeah, this is what I was told to do. I inventory the shelves, restock them, and stay in touch with repair services..." Or whatever shit seemed appropriate. "I didn't get any further instructions, so I just thought I was supposed to pick it up on my own." In other words, make it look like you DID use some initiative but apparently didn't get it right because management failed to follow up with you.

Or go and look at what the job description said, at least, and know enough to say that's what you'd been doing, even if you weren't.

i had that yesterday. i will spare you the details, but it was bad almost from start to finish. apart from a few hours of repreive.

It's dead here as well at the hehe home office.

Friday morns are usually much busier for me.

When I'm not posting here, I'm doing work in bits and pieces so it appears I'm busy. And in between those times, I'm sneaking off to the record stores or coffee houses, or thinking about the next time I can do so. I'm a true slacker.

Monday i came here an hour anf half early to sort out the mistakes of people who couldn't cope with the crashed computerized system.........and i'm not getting paid for that either,damn it!

i have a very lax job, i too, am practically my own boss. they make up for that by shafting me in the $$$$ dept.
i did this at work with company camera, on a week when the owners were in Vegas for some trade show. i just started learning how to use the camera, because i learned where it is stashed when not in use.

i cant really mess around, there's no one to mess around with, all the other people who work there are too serious!, and i get yelled at weekly for not approaching customers as soon as they enter the shop anyway!, if i was to actually do something wrong GOD KNOWS!!!! what would happen!

i goof off if it's the right class/right time.

Go online, play scrabble, chat, drink coffee, have a laugh. It's all part of the job.

Well, I slack all the time at work. It's usually cut grass, do water coolers, then slack the last 2 hours of the day. We drive these at work:

What we do is go to the dump where we keep all our sand, soil, sod, etc... and it's just all dirt so we do donuts and see who can get the most mud on the other person.

Interesting story about your friend haha. That's incredible that it lasted a year
