Turkish Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss is outside so hopefully I won’t get caught and lose any of my stars for lazy behaviour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 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.

badgerx16 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 (edited) 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?

inspectorfrost Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 On 30/07/2024 at 13:37, sadoldgit said: 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
