Office Hours

[Turkish]

13 mins in today, managed to nip off to the filing room to get on my phone and check on here. On the second coffee break slot today at 10.15 only an hour to go, lunch 12-1 on the rota which makes it for a very long afternoon until 5. Few strategic trips to the toilet and on tea duty at 3 so that'll break things up.

I am just crouched under the counter at the fried chicken shop. Boss is outside so hopefully I won’t get caught and lose any of my stars for lazy behaviour

Work in Civil Service, workload done for the day now to just cruise the interwebz for the rest of the day at the tax payers expense.

My boss has nipped out to taunt some orphans and the unfortunates who find themselves in the workhouse. Just got time to write this with my quill pen and get the messenger boy to take it to the telegraph office.

I'm going to pretend that the smog was a bit thicker than it actually is, when I get back from this coal delivery. That's bought me a couple of mins to write this, before giving it to a passing urchin who will take it to SaintsWeb Towers. It's great working for modern companies. So much better than the old days.

[Weston Super Saint]

Just managed to get my phone out of the safe. Took a lot of persuading to get a "heat" break agreed in this hot weather.

[The Kraken]

Afternoon bing-bong just went off, currently enjoying coffee break with my feet up 😎

[Turkish]

just nipped out to make tea, managed to pick up some rich teas from Pound shop. Looking forward to them.

Massive wank in the disabled loos now farting and pretending someone else is responsible in the communal work space.

Drove to Leyland to collect the ashes of our dog from the pet crematorium, then drove back to do the shopping. Just finished putting the shopping away so taking a coffee break.

What is this 'work' thing you are all talking about?

I know that you aren’t the sharpest knife in the draw Weston, but it isn’t a stretch to work out that most jobs operate between roughly 9 and 6 and most people work a 5 day week.

If you see posts from them pretty much every day, through the day, there is a very good chance that they are using social media during working hours.

If, as you suggest, they might be working nights, when do they sleep if they are posting consistently through the day?

When you say it is possible to work and use social media at the same time, you are making my point for me (bless you). I don’t know about your job, if you ever had one, but where I worked people were expected to work during their hours of employment, not spend their time trolling on social media platforms. 

I know that you trip over yourself trying to trip up others, but you really need to engage your brain first. You just end up making yourself look silly.
 

 

It actually is given companies were moving away from a flat 9-5 in the office world 20 years ago

The last company I worked for that enforced 9-5 or similar on everyone was 12 years ago. A 5 day week - 8 years ago. A lot of companies don't even enforce rigid hours now, get the job done and they really couldn't care less how long you spend on social media.

Somebody who tosses it off on social media all day won’t be getting ‘the job done’ however you/they kid themselves. Many roles won’t have a defined output of completing the job

Many people work for themselves so can toss off as much as they want.

What’s your point? Lazy workers exist. I know Saintsweb is solely filled with the truly driven entrepreneurial types.

Didn't really have a point. Just felt like posting any old shit whilst watching the telly.

We are progressive. We looked at research on Monday morning moods so now we all just go down the helterskelter all morning. Then its table tennis and ice creams then we we all punch our cards out and fuck off home.

Typical Friday for me today at work, think the link below sums it up.

not for me its not. Got a shit load of documents to input onto our system, no slipping off to the filing room in the modern workplace walking past the secretaries offices for a quick perv. Secret Santa and christmas jumper day tomorrow though so looking forward to that, got Lynne a bottle of prosecco and massage oil, hoping she gets the hint lol. Going to bring a bit of mistletoe in tomorrow to see if i can steal a few cheeky kisses during coffee break over the next few days then its work P-A-R-T-Y tomorrow night, cant wait. We know how to enjoy ourselves in our office, hopefully Victoria from marketing will come in her sexy santa outfit and we can all kop a feel when she's pissed.

Just hoping my supervisor allows us to leave early and does our punch cards for us. I’ve wanked off enough chickens today and could do with a break

[Holmes_and_Watson]

All year, we apprentices have been keeping the little shavings of coal left round the office hearth. We have a great Christmas tradition of burning them when we're working on Christmas morning.

Obviously our superiors don't light a hearth on that day, as they graciously allow us Christmas afternoon off, and the heat would be wasted.
