Maybe this calls for an official Bored At Work thread... I've got to be here till 5 tonight and I can feel it's going to drag on and on forever...

we can use this thread as the "bored at work"

good idea rob!

how about this for a new thread title, "chuuurch of da soooper aggressive bored at herra-flush work thread"

might i suggest drinking to pass the boredom?

Kavik · « **Reply #6 on:** March 10, 2010, 04:18:52 PM »

Speaking of flush, I dropped a giant 2-flush megashit this morning that let me take the lead in the office weight loss contest. That thought should cheer you all up.

I usually take one ever morning around 9am after the morning brew digested some. The other day I was looking in the toilet wondering how all of that crap was actually inside me.. It was an easy 3-5 pounds.

The downside to your company giving you notice about its potential shutdown in a few months, followed by a solid $$ freeze, followed by your boss getting let go, is that I can do what I want. I really don't report to anyone. The girl we officially report to is scared shitless of us. We have no money to move forward with any projects so there's 50% less work. we have very little work thus only 25% of the computers being utilized, thus 75% less people breaking stuff. The only actual work I did in my entire 8 hours yesterday was switching the backup tapes.

Sounds pretty nice, but its pretty fucking boring. Im usually taking 2 hour lunches with the lady and sometimes a round 2 in mid afternoon to pass the time. I really should just go home and work on the mr2 for a few hours then come back.

I am trying to get back into the swing of things at work after a 9 day cruise. The first 2 days dragged on as I kept feeling movements like I was still on the ship. Some say this could last up to a week.

I'm dealing with a similar situation. While the company isn't going to shut its doors but they are "circling the wagons" so to speak as the funding gets shifted away from our line of buisness. In my area we have 3 buildings that are going to be consolidated into 2... there is quite a bit of space in all the buildings but still not enough to fit everyone... The feeling is that during the move it will be "musical desks" and when the music stops those left "standing" will be out of a job. My mechanical engineering group seems like it has enough work to keep us on through the move but no one is 100% sure. Very unsettling times.

You also spend half the time talking to me and looking at cars. Speaking of which, in 2 hours I'm out of here for 11 days and off to sunny Orlando. This afternoon is really fucking dragging along. I'm spending the time reading camera info and trying to keep myself awake. I might have to start punching myself in the nuts soon.

It's rough and you can't focus. I managed to get all my work done yesterday but not without significant amounts of coffee, water, and pee breaks. GL, matt. Don't do what i did last night and go out drinking. I'm really hurting today, LOL

LOL, work hard, play hard

Aside from yesterday, I haven't drank on my lunch break in 2 months. This may sound hypocritical but i've been on a real wellness kick since having health problems. I normally reserve drinking for the weekends.

I've got a wicked engineering problem to solve this afternoon. It's like an thermal and fluids test question on steriods... It's not particularly hard but holy hell is it long... I'm on my 4th full page of written work and I'm not even done setting up the equations to solve the damn thing. All of this is to check a computer model... I'm wishing I drank at lunch today.

board at work took some quick connect airline pieces and welded nails to them, then took a lader and but a target on the roof of the shop and shot at it for like 3 hours while drinking.

Aha. I was wondering who owned the STI when i went cruising by.

It was a long day for me today... Old engineers aren't fun to work with sometimes. On a side note, anyone have a business that might be able to legitimately get me some product samples from 3M? Trying to get my hands on some LCD brightness enhancement films they make...

I don't go out all that much (too expensive), and only have a few beers at home. I'll rock MW2 for a bit tonight and drink 'em up. I don't have work tomorrow, so if I feel like shit, no big deal

I didn't drive to work today (and didn't see it) - besides, my car would be in the garage behind work anyway (it's a 2-min walk to APS from my office)

im so glad i dont have to sit around and be on here during work lol...i never find afternoons at work fun but yes they are long, like today for instance i found myself on a roller underneath a dump truck greasing u-joints etc...so much for just working on subaru's, GMC can eat shit and die for all i care.

one of the mechanics tells me hes gonna show me where to grease etc...i told him i knew how to do it...WRONG answer, thats what i get for opening my mouth (a fun fulled hour of darkness and a grease gun). my skin color changed for the rest of the day, and he laughed and asked why i was so dirty.

Beer --> Coffee... how did that affect you? I learned last summer to watch the afternoon coffee before drinking on the golf course. I would water every hole. seriously.
