office space

[Aries]

okay, I know the majority of posters here hang around the forum while at work. Myself included.

So I thought I'd start a thread to figure out how we all squeeze in time to smooze around here while on the job.


I usually don't post untill i'm at home or school on my own time.
But its so dead today I could stick a pen through my eye.
I swear I can hear the nomes that steal your left sock in the night.
I work at a hotel btw, which explains my odd hours and why I need to work most of the holidays. (worked this whole weekend).
It would be better if it was just some office job where I sat in a cubicle and entertained myself, but i'm literallty stuck at the desk with nothing to do but stare at the wall. i know, i know, there is always something to do, I always find more work to do. i take my job seriously and all, but I can only clean the desk so many times in a shift and run so many reports, no new guests .. no new reports..

tick tock tick tock
i almost miss the x-mas music, now the machine is broken, its just dead silent.

At least you have a job, I need to find another part time job since the place I was a tour guide at went out of business.

[cesarekim]

I'm in the office 18 hours a day....

I can basically do what I want in the office when I'm at the pc as my really relevant work is on the shop floor on in a meeting. The fact that I spend most of my time on the phone while I'm on the forum helps as well....

I'm just sure to include a cover sheet in my TPS reports so I don't get hassled by my managers. If they don't come over, then I can spend more time on the Forums. :bandit:

at least you have an office. the place im suppose to put in my paperworkis tiny. but hey during slow peroids i can kick back and read the funnies. no computer use though.
:bored:

[namabiru]

Ha ha ha, this sounds like when I was on the JET Programme. Man I was so bored. No challenge in the job, nothing to do, got tired of being stared at all damn day long...

Japanese offices, though, have "rest rooms", not where you go to poo and all that, but where you can pull a nice futon out of the closet and have a kip while you're at work. Presumably because you were up half the night at the office preparing for the PTA day, not because you spent all night out on the party train.

its called food service. when they built the store they felt that the managers don't need an office, or a crew room. oh well i guess we do al right for our selves, hey we just got a stereo for our troubles. so things are looking on the up and up.:evolved:

[namabiru]

Ha ha ha, that movie was *great*. I'm trying to get it on Bittorrent now. (the one called Office Space, if anyone can't follow my drunken finger pointing).

True fact:

The class I TA for actually uses Office Space for two lectures to show examples of ineffective management. :happy:

Hu? I'm sorry but I don't get your meaning. Please bear with me but I'm missing something here...

I believe the poster meant that a certain class in college uses scenes from the movie “Office Space” to display examples of ineffective management. Hopefully, in order to teach the effective type of management, I would imagine.

[rainmaker]

admit it. We are all geeks......

[ScottUK]

If someone (management) actually bothered to look at my XP toolbar, the'd notice AutoCAD, 3DS-MAX, Kendo-World and E-Budo all active 8 hrs a day... :wink:

[Alison2805]

Actually, my sister had to watch the whole OfficeSpace movie during a lecture - she was doing library studies, go figure.

I sit in my office and browse through kendo world while Im waiting for maps or reports to download...

[nikozamo]

actually the computer in my home is used 99% by me and the 99% of the used space is mine, so by obious thinking... always y have some forum open with my music and the photoshop... (i like to use it ) so i dont have problems of time to post, actually the problems is when the interesting post are over hahaha (but now im in japan, so is a little different...:cyclops: )

Thank you Obulco. Things finally clicked when you said TA and college. I was one of those for a short while... Managed to switch over to RA pretty damn quick. Liked teaching but empathized with people not showing up to my classes as the syllabus was crap (mostly ops mgmt stuff like manually calculating pert's and slack and stuff that MS Project and Primavera already do...)

Office Space I never saw and didn't even know it was a movie title. I now will have to go and see it....

Yep.

It works well with Fayol's Principles of X Theory Bosses.........

Okay, I'll shut up now! :cheerful:

[Kenzan]

Currently:
6 Telnet sessions, 3 TFTP, 6 RDP, 8 Panes of CRM, 2 AD consoles, 5 VMware sessions, 4 Laptops for repair, 2 PCs for imaging, 1 PIX console, 3 Wyse terms ready to config connected to my KVM, Blackberry screaming about multiple servers flapping, Clarion kicking out errors, Pager going off, users calling with crazy requests, Cell phone on fire. IBM bladeserver needing a benchmark test, and 2 browsers with one dedicated tab to Kendo World.
-And it's now just lunchtime. (Not that I ever get to eat one)

Yeah. I sort of multitask.

Someone PLEASE kill me.

Your guys are so lucky to have an office. I've been on construction site for the last 8 months without a decent office, only trailer and primitive computer.
