Leisure Suit Larry used to have a 'Boss' key - hit it & a graph came up of condom sales iirc... I just keep something work related running & alt-tab if need be

 

[dysfunction]

I have more than just one work related window open...

 

[~YuckFou~]

I had that

I also used to have a "boss key" app that you could assign to any key you liked.

 

[dysfunction]

I really need a new job

My spamming is on the increase again.

 

[Ono]

Ted is not my boss.

As far as I care he can go take a flying ................

I once had a BW/Green background at work so nobody could tell if I was online or not

Bah, I've been barred from using the interweb between calls at work. I think they are trying to make me angry enough, and my job shit enough, that I quit.

They see staring into space as a better way to fill in the 40 seconds between calls, and will apparently give me a verbal warning next time.

I so need a new job. Everyone cross their fingers for my current round of applications.

*cross fingers*

Had a similar experience recently. I was told I was witnessed spending 15 whole minutes of company time on the internet looking at barrysworld. What they failed to note was that a, I browse at lunch times, b, there is no company policy against surfing on my own time (even during office hs) c, the real kicker, that I work more hours a week on my own time than i spend looking at the internet. Since then, Ive stopped surtfing at work (they can win that one) but Im keeping a book now of just how much of my own time is used for company business. I worked 3hs extra last week without breaking a sweat (on top of our usual 40h week) BASTARDS is all I can say. Im going to include that in my weekly reports so they can see the real situation.

I got back to work after 3 weeks off because I had my appendix removed, to find they had decided to cancel all my projects that I work on. Because, in my managers own words "We don't feel you are focused enough, so we think we should give other people a shot". So, lets think about this. I have a project. It is very good, and I regularly get bonuses to my pay check from company directors. It saves 5 major complaints a day when engineers don't show up, as well as helping to keep us Oftel compliant for fault target times, I hand in daily reports on the work I've done. Doesn't sound very demotivated to me. Then they start making me work to rule, no internet access, back on shifts and working Saturdays. On top of that, you can read my managers words as "We are never going to promote you, or let you deal with anyone above me ever again".

I feel so fucking motivated now.

poor you-guys

I've not done any actual work in months people are starting to notice though :uhoh:

 

[Ono]

I'm serving out the final month in my 3 month notice period at work so I don't really give a shit what's on my PC screen.

 

[Sawtooth]

In my case they had just promoted me so it struck me as a bit odd that I was being told I wasnt working hard enough. Its not like my behaviour has changed recently.

 

[old.ignus]

Do you all work in a bloody office?

I've recently applied for my new job at a local swimming pool and gym, the idea being to get myself fit and healthy to join the Royal Air force at the end of the year. I got an interview on thursday wish me luck.

 

[Testin da Cable]

for some strange reason I have considered forestry as a 'nice' alternative to IT shite. I'm starting to dislike my job you know :/

 

[caLLous]

Forestry like, maintaining bushes and keeping them nice and tidy?

 

[Testin da Cable]

well, that's more like a groundsman I think. I had more of a 'walk throught the woods counting animals and marking trees and stuff' kind of thing in mind

 

[~YuckFou~]

They will issue you with a large chopper probably.

 

[Sawtooth]

Generally when Im in my office they think Im not working, as I work in a lab. Not sure when Im actually supposed to do data analysis etc

 

[plightstar]

Well in my office im the only one who knows anything about IT, so last when my supervisor saw me on Barrysworld, I told her that I Barrysworld is a great place to get answers to questions about the website, I am designing for them in my spare time.

Also the Internet prevent's me from entering into Boredom on a friday afternoon

 

[Xtro]

I AM the boss.

If a minion doesn't like it then tough shit.

/laughs evilly.

 

[Testin da Cable]
