hope we are all our own bosses
 

Been noticing for awhile now that during business hours there are 4 times as many people on this site as there are at any other time of the day. you're all busted and on behalf of all bosses owners anywhere. GET BACK TO WORK!!!! :cheers:
As for myself Guilllttyyyyyy!!!!!!!!

Accounting Manager at the corporate level = a lot of "teleconferencing" ;)

plus on the west coast this is the middle of lunch time..

I work in IT. This is my job.

I take insurance claims for what some people actually try to call a "Living"... Wouldn't you rather be here too?

No denying I am slacking.

@Pbrown

I am your boss. I've been patiently waiting for you to make a post like this. I finally have everything I need. You're fired.

Well played sir. California eh? I accept.

I drive like a Boss.

Meh, if you own this car you've got a solid middle class or better income, those are usually associated with white collar or management positions. In those jobs it is rare to expect to be working every single minute of your ~8 hours a day. Most jobs come down to "Are you delivering everything on time? Can you do more? Are you overworked?"

Spending twenty or thirty minutes browsing the web in an 8 hour day is nothing, and no reason to log out given we have computers that can multi-task filling up the list at the bottom.

Meh, engineers take the fun out of everything don't they, here's a cliched office meme to make up for it:

Here's a Dilbert for good measure:

I usually check the forums on lunch then maybe one or two times during the day to see if anything interesting pops up.

In most cases nothing really interesting pops up.

My job pretty much is summed up by Strat's Dilbert (the pointy haired manager)!
Surprisingly though, when you hold the purse strings for their projects, you will find that people frequently can indeed change the laws of physics in the most creative ways.
It may appear that I am here constantly during the day but it is really just in 2 or 3 minute snippets. I just read very, very fast.


Oh and like Koa I do a pile of teleconferencing and since about 80% does not affect me I spend way to much time listing to engineers argue!

My boss think im watchin porn, and seems he agreed with it. No complaint at all

Commission sales.

Forum for local Subaru people and other hobby, pinball, all blocked here.

IT Manager here. Im on the internet 24/7. You can't hide

Same here, commission based tech. No one breaks their phones in February = plenty of time to plan out my supercharger build and shop FT86speedfactory

Spring rolls around and I'm lucky to get on here even during lunches

my bosses are never around.... get to do really what i want

I don't think there's a single U.S. corporation office WITHOUT someone emailing Scott Adams with ideas (that's how his comic has worked for longer than 6 months, he probably exhausted his own anecdotes well over a decade ago, smart guy putting his email in the margin).

The past few months have been particularly resonant.

In one of my prior positions I was reprimanded several times for NOT breaking the laws of physics and complimented for breaking the laws of physics. Of course everything presented outside the department was hunky-dory.

I work for the governement. And am in an office 45 minutes away from any of my supervisors

Collections agent. During downtime this and my accounting homework is what keeps me from going off on some deadbeat that thinks it's my fault he charged up 2 grand in McDonalds.

What is WORK ?

Not sure what that term means.

Lemme check Urban Dictionary...see if they have it listed. Oh they do ! But so many various definitions, none sounding terribly interesting. I'll stay home and think about this for a while longer.

I work for the goverment as well and sit behind a dual monitor workstation for 10 hours a night. By the time I get to work, my boss has gone home already :thumbup:

Fired? I quit!

You can come work for me!

lol, I wish.

I do online affiliate marketing specializing in Lead generation and Sales. In other words I work from home in my boxers till the wee hours of the night and I have to much free time on my hands.

My boss is me
My boss is also the coolest person Ive ever met :P

I have much to add to this thread but I will exercise my right to remain silent... :scared0016:

i peep in here during my lunch/break time.....but i don't log in....i need chuckles throughout my work day....Tcoat, koa, ultramaroon n the rest entertain n give me good info on car.

Most my job involves the interwebs. I browse around different sites while I'm waiting for other people to give me work to finish.

Mine asked if there was anything good lately http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/...41/861/6b4.jpg

Lots of account management for me, so i'm on the interwebs 80 percent of my day of course ill be bored and hop on here once in a while look for absurd threads to troll.

I am the Law!!! :thumbsup:

Forum time helps fill the gap between how long I say things will take vs how long they actually take to do.

Just like star trek teaches "Star Trek: The Next Generation: Relics (#6.4)" (1992)

Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: Look, Mr. Scott, I'd love to explain everything to you, but the Captain wants this spectrographic analysis done by 1300 hours.
[La Forge goes back to work; Scotty follows slowly]
Scotty: Do you mind a little advice? Starfleet captains are like children. They want everything right now and they want it their way. But the secret is to give them only what they need, not what they want.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: Yeah, well, I told the Captain I'd have this analysis done in an hour.
Scotty: How long will it really take?
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: An hour!
Scotty: Oh, you didn't tell him how long it would *really* take, did ya?
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: Well, of course I did.
Scotty: Oh, laddie. You've got a lot to learn if you want people to think of you as a miracle worker.

what series accounting are you in? principles or intermediate? Loved that stuff! :D

Not my own boss. I'm just simply following the suggestion in this research article.

I work as a civil engineer and my job is quite literally to watch other people work so I have lots of downtime, due to winter weather.

I'm a web designer. I'm on the internet for inspiration

I'm a public servant you are all my bosses.

And I am the guy that gets to watch you watching them.
I aspire to be the guy watching me, watch you, watch them, though!
If I can get high enough in the watching others chain I will be a god.

I'm the guy that does the work for civil engineers, gets to deal with them changing the plans everyday and dreaming up new ideas about how we can cram more rebar into a 6 inch pad
