Title: The "Tiberious is bored at work and others who are bored at work" thread
Post by: Tiberious Thessalonia on 24 Oct 2011, 12:13

Hello!  This is going to be a bit low-content, I suppose, because I am making it only because I am really bored at work, and I figured others who are bored at work might want to post here.

Also others who are looking to entertain the poor wageslaves, you may also post here.

Have at you!

At work, I have two possible states: Bored, and pulling my hair out. Currently bored.

I do, however, get to amuse myself when work reminds me of EVE, like when we're doing a quote for a job called Sotera, or when I'm looking at a set of specs designated SBU (sensitive but unclassified, I'm allowed to look at them but I gotta shred them when I'm done).

Most of the time, though, it's just one tenant fitout after another. Blargh.

Newp. I do commercial. Tenant fitout usually means a sink, a 10 gallon water heater, and a couple backflow preventers for coffee and ice maker hookup.

My coworker and I frequently joke about being griefed by our contractors and call the engineers and architects that put together terrible specs trolls.

Aww.  I want an Alphapartment.

But, seriously, are we the only two RPers with jobs at this time who also have access to the internets?

No, just the only ones bored enough that we're watching backstage atm. My brain is trying to take a dump.

That sounds dangerous.  I wouldn't let it.  Brain meats go inside the skull.

My fulltime job is looking for work. I don't think that counts. :P

Hello Morwen!

What's going on?  Are you here to bring us news from inside New Eden?

A bored Tiberious appears. Quickly, distract it!

*dangles something shiny*

What sort of shiny thing?  The exactly qualifications of the shiny thing are necessary before I know whether I will be distracted by it.

Please supply statistics as to lustre, relative worth, and potential janglyness of the shiny thing.

Wait wait, not only do you have a job, but you are not overly exploited and/or are at times bored? An Internet connection?

There is only one thing I have to say to that:

I'm jealous.

Rek, truly I am the 1%

Tiberious, I will join you in the 1%, as I have a job, have internet at my job, and can be bored at my job.  Though today that was because I had to go through about 4 hours of training. 

Very boring training. 

Sai ponders ganking the training department.

That sounds like a plan.

My issue is that the job I was originally hired for had an idiot working there before, so the bosses have seriously overestimated how long it takes to do things.

Thankfully, soon I will be a one man publishing department, so I will have things to do! \o/

And maybe a pay raise! \o/!

Tiberious, you are at work when I am at work. Are you in Aus?

So who is around that wants to be entertained/help us lowly wageslaves stay entertained?

Bored At Work crew, checking in.

I believe I may entertain myself today by working on memorizing John 14-17 again. At least that's productive.

Too late, I'm home. I will entertain myself, thank you very much!
