I know I am. Its chronic really. I spent the last week just surfing when i should really have been learning a new system i'm supposed to be working on. The thing is, i've always done this (4 years programming with some gaps in between - doning nothin) and gotaway with it. My worklife is series of getting-away-with-it episodes. I always manage to dodge between the hard stuff to find the path of least resistance. It feels almost pathological sometimes - like i want to be cought doing fuck-all... but i never do.... the bear minimum gets done and i go home. I just never found the need to be satisfied with a hard days work. For me thats a psychological fullfillment easily replaced by day-dreaming, idleness and the satisfaction of achieving jack shit. I play hard though. Anyone else? - if you're bothered to write it. |

I'm at work right now. And every day from 9 to 16 (norway-time), which means that whenever you read a post by mine it's been posted while at work. |

Yes, but I'm too lazy to type too :P |

Sounds like me. Although for me it would be: "My getting-away-with-it episodes." |

I'm soooo lazy that in my last programming job i knew that the work i had to do would involve going to an industrial estate in Strasborg to install a system and i'd have to be there all day in front of people actually doing stuff, so i quit!.... it was great money, would have got me loads of hardware, a new apt. etc but i thougt - "it isn't actually fucking worth it" and said good luck and went on the dole for a while. This is not pot-related by the way! - its sheer not-arsedness |

hahahahhahaha! you said "dong" instead of "doing!" haha! ok, no. sounds cool. I'd just started philosophy when the army kidnapped me and trained me to be a vicious civil-worker! |

Fikk militærtjenesten to år utsatt pga studier, og ble tydeligvis glemt helt av. Da lillebror ble innkalt fem år etterpå, så de muligens navnet mitt, og jeg fikk brev om at jeg pga "min situasjon" slapp hele skiten med rep og alt. Deilig at forsvaret aldri skal spille en rolle i livet mitt. |

lmao @ "this is not pot-related by the way" |

øff! skulle ønske jeg slapp.. men det er forsåvidt godt med et år til å gjøre noe bra for folk.. ville ikke hatt tid samtidig med studiene... Ikke faen om jeg skulle inn i militæret! da ville jeg bare følt meg unyttig! |
||||||||

I am the same. Absolutely no motivation to do work, or most things, really. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Høres jo ganske greit ut i ditt tilfelle. Skulle gjerne hatt et siviltjeneste-år egentlig. Planla å ta et etter studiene helt til jeg fikk beskjed om at jeg slapp. Greit å ha et sånt år før jeg begynner å søke på jobber, men men |

referansene man får er (hvis du gjør en god jobb) veldig bra! de er kvalitative (altså: sjefen MÅ skrive at du jobber hardt og slikt (hvis du da har jobbet hardt)) i motsetning til de vanlige med "[...] jobbet hos [...] i 2000." men.. ikke ta det for gitt at du slipper... kjenner en fyr som fikk beskjed om det fordi han går et år om igjen på videregående, men så fikk han plutselig beskjed om at han måtte ha det alikevel... og når jeg var på Hustad, var det en 38år gammel far/barneskolelærer som hadde blitt innkalt til én månedes gjenstående tjeneste av sin militære tjenestetid... |

I am the same, and now i can only work from home. I got offered a great job, very good money being the "web guy" at some office in an industrial estate. I lasted a week, sitting 8 hours under the fiercest air conditioning unit listenting to some uber geek that stank of piss playing his hilarious Cantonese pop music mp3s.. the deepest circle of hell is an open plan office in Northolt. |

I am yet to not lift a finger all day at work by I am trying. My lethagy makes me really want to start my own business. I think I might just actually do a days work then as i'll be living hand to mouth for real. |

Ooooo, would you look at the time! Time for a cup of coffee adn a biscuit methinks. See you guys. I might be some time. Dah dee dah |

Go for it, once I started doing my own thing it was a lot easier. I couldn't go back to working for someone else, i can't stand the politics, the rude and ignorant "managers", the way making a cup of tea is treated with some sacred reverence and if you just make one for yourself without telling anyone then you are guilty of the lowest transgression, the commuting, the endless meetings, the "hey guys, you're going to working late tonight", the argument that follows the next day when I have to explain why i left at the usual time, sitting around doing nothing because there is nothing to do, explaining that no, the internet isn't slow today, talking to marketing people without being able to punch them, uncomfortable chairs, people who put post it notes all over their monitor so they look really busy, smokers getting an extra six months of a year in breaks, cheap toilet paper. |

i'm pretty sure i'm not alowwed surf outsiode of luchtime but i've literally been on-line for a week and a half. Surely they have a monitoring system embedded in the aul firewall? I seriously pushing my lazy luck here. (the thing is i know i'll be up to my lymph-glands in this that and the other soon, so i'm kicking back till the avalanche appears) PS I did a DB programming course in Slough once. Its worse than "the Office" projects: Thats one grey, boring, town. |

i'd like to say hello to keyfumblers computer services unit. i'm sure theyre having a right laugh about you posting about how lazy you are at work. not only have they got evidence of you surfing they also have evidence of you admitting you never do any work. so when they sack you you won't get your 2 weeks notice, you'll just get laid off! |

Only lightweight web design and programming. The overheads are low once you've got a computer. I tried to get away just using Notepad and MS Paint for a while. |

I don't have the choice to be lazy in work, I'm constantly waiting for a call to come through, can't even leave my desk without being moniterd =o( I've realised recently how much I actually hate my job. It's the most soul destroying occupation ever |
||||||||
|

Well, I'm a designer at web designer at present. I just think I really need a change of scene. ie NO computers. |

pOgO: Support? ...scarey stuff Only 1 hour 10 mins to go. My last job was working on ... it lasted 6 months, i got fed, paid and ran around dressed up. Them were the days.... |
||||||||

|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah man I'm tech support It took me 25mins just now to get a customer to go into device mgr, only to find out he has no usb or ethernet installed to plug the cable modem into. And of course it's all my fault that he has a crap machine that he can't use It took me 10mins to get him to click on start !! joy |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|

I've thought the same thing, but I don't know if i could do anything non-computer based. I can't think of any other job to do...... there must be something.... |

pimp or prostitution, both pay well |

Maybe if I could combine the two... then I'd still be my own boss.... |

thats true |

Do you resort to repeating the instruction, without even bothering to rephrase it for clarity/politeness sake? Like saying, "Move the mouse to the bottom left corner, click start..." again and again, in response to whatever they say until they've done it? Fortunately, I only had to deal with reasonably competent people (they were usually IT admin themselves), but occassionally if it was early/late I'd need to talk a receptionist/secretary through connecting a modem, etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, there must be. I'm really thinking seriously about using my Italian language skills to do somekind of middle-man antics in the business world. Import-export kind of stuff. What I would actually deal in is yet ot be decided...music? Food? clothes? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I do most of my surfing at work. It's pretty slow right now anyway... It's gonna suck when I get moved to another department. I'll actually have to do a full days work. I shudder at the thought |
