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.

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.

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!
