Double_E Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I was going to post this in that other thread ("bastard"), since we were talking about amounts of vacation time from various jobs/sectors.... but since that one drifted in so many directions, I'll start a new thread. What I want to know is how you people spray all day and still HAVE jobs.... I long ago stopped posting on CC.com at work (some lurking, no posting tho)...... FIRST of all cuz it eats up so much time and I wouldn't get shit done, and ALSO cuz my monitor is in full view of the cube hallway. My boss rarely if ever comes by to visit, but farting around on the 'net too much can also be bad for "coworker relations", shall we say. Shit, I spend/waste enuf time just writing personal emails each day, but that can be done covertly ..... write it in Outlook, then quickly paste it into Yahoo Mail. Oh, and I guess that's a THIRD reason I don't login here at work.... in case "they" end up tracing my CC.com login to my LAN login and find I say things like what I just said..... or stuff I post here which they might deem, for whatever reason, "unsavory". (I've got today off, which is the only reason I'm saying ... er, spraying, ... all this.) Oly, Archie, Selkirk, Knotzen, Dru, DeC..... I'm not even sure I totally believe you guys HAVE jobs... I figure you must work at night, and/or have private offices, and/or have the ability to time-warp, and/or work at places where you're SURE they don't monitor web traffic from client machines. (???)

archenemy Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I am sure that they DO monitor web traffic, they even tell us they do. I just don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double_E Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 I am sure that they DO monitor web traffic, they even tell us they do.

archenemy Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I invest wisely. I make enough on my investments to live. I work because I choose to. I thought this job would be more challenging, but it isn't yet. In one week, I will finally get to start a project I have been prepping for since I started six months ago. In two months, I will be managing an acquisition that will take up a great deal of my time. So buck up, soon, you won't be hearing from me much anymore.

archenemy Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 It must have been a typo. Get back to work slacker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knotzen Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Actually, I am just very efficient at my work. And my officemate spends 75% of his day on non-work web sites and e-mail, so I figure, what the heck, as long as I get my work done. Which I do (under the great burden of boredom). And, you know, it keeps me connected. Grounded in the surreality that is life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double_E Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 So buck up, soon, you won't be hearing from me much anymore. awwww.... just when I was starting to think you were actually kinda cool..... (and by that I mean, well, something less than 100% bitch).... and even kinda funny sometimes too. but what does my opinion count... I've only got a measely 636 posts. ...and I've never climbed anything harder than 5.10, and very possibly never will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knotzen Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Well, if I didn't have to get back to work, man, you would be in SOOO much trouble! You can't imagine! I mean it. I really do.

And even if you can't improve your climbing numbers, you CAN improve your posting numbers here at cc.com. Welcome one, welcome all. Except kNOTzen--get back to work!!!

knotzen Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Actually, if I must tell the truth, I am a successful surgeon and I post in between operations. They only schedule one or two a day, you know, so I have plenty of time. And I don't really need to work--I'm fabulously wealthy. I just do it because I like cutting up people, and this way can do it legally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitergal Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 hmm..I think what Double E is lacking is the hard to get talent of "Multi-Tasking"! Or...you could also do the work/reward senerio....Do a work related task...reward oneself with spray/play time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selkirk Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I'm just a bored grad student who spends all day everyday working on my dissertation. I've found I can only talk to myself for so long before I get on my own nerves and would rather get on yours After 6 or 7 hours of sorting through variables to make sure they're consistant I feel like I want to kill someone. So come here to torment Knotzen! Will actually be teaching again in 3 weeks so back to semi-work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 The people who monitor where I go to on the web are too busy to see where I go. I have seen them watch downloaded video porn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knotzen Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 You work on your dissertation all day every day? When I was working on my thesis, I worked on it for an hour every 3 or 4 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selkirk Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 You work on your dissertation all day every day? When I was working on my thesis, I worked on it for an hour every 3 or 4 days. depends on the day. If not feeling focused it's pretty much pointless. But 4 or 5 days a week 6 to 7 hrs a day, with a few evenings thrown in working slowly. Trying to get it wrapped up and polished. I wasn't able to work on it much during the year (between active research, teaching a class, and managing 3 other sections, hiring issues, supply issues yada yada yada) So this summer has been all about the typing! Have thrown in a few teaching things though and some time working on my computer model, but in general I'm so bored with it I could shoot myself. There have been stretches where if it weren't for spray I could probably go for week and half without ever talking to anyone but my wife after she gets off work.
