grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I had a big party last night and am feeling rather worse for wear today. It's one of those days when I am totally ineffective and don't feel like doing anything. Of course I have to be at work and have to look like I am doing something. So I have been doing anything but working all day. I can't believe how effective my time wasting has been, nearly 3pm already. Using the web, drinking coffee, talking with colleagues, going for a bit of a walk.... What a waste. I'm bored with it all though and another two hours to do. What are your time wasting activities?

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I used to be bored as shite daily at my last job. Now I actually appreciate being able to have a few minutes to do nothing - which is extremely rare. If I have a few mins I try to do some emails or post bs here. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 There is a good balance isn't there. I'm usually quite busy, just today I'm feeling tired and hungover. Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 oh man, i got hammered last night. i was toddling down the street with a mate, having a chat and walked straight into a pole. killing time at work is hard... i'm up for any innovative suggestions. how about downloading a book in word format? if anyone looks at your screen they'll just think you're churning through a huge document Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Having to get up with a hangover and drag yourself to work is truly a bad bad feeling. I do everything I can to avoid mid-week drunken nights out. My work have this ridiculous policy it seems of having parties on Mondays or Tuesdays. If you ask me that is very silly.

thursday 1 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 can't believe it. Been working today and most of the week. What kinda life is this when it gets in the way of me posting. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted June 22, 2007 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted June 22, 2007 I think you should complain! Though I would be surprised to hear if some people actually use the Forums from work... Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I think I'll have to re-assign my time for this afternoon. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Quote: Having to get up with a hangover and drag yourself to work is truly a bad bad feeling. It certainly is. I remember once I had to do a speech and I was just totally wasted, looked like death warmed up and my Japanese abilities were not cooperating. It was a disaster. I'll refuse to get drunk now before anything important. A normal day at work doesn't count of course but even that and doing nothing is a really painful experience. Link to post Share on other sites

cheeseman 1 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Where I work there is a room that people sometimes go to to lie down and take a nap. I'm not quite sure how it works contract wise, but one guy always seems to be in there the lazy cad. I often like talking with colleagues when I am not so busy. It's a good time to practice my Japanese. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 I'm still feeling hungover from last week. Well I know its not actually a hangover but I'm just knackered. Talking with some of my colleagues is an effort in itself and so that isn't an option when I'm tired. (Do they enjoy talking about cheese, cheeseman?) Link to post Share on other sites
minus 1 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I have many days like that, mostly nothing to do with hangovers. Seems I have 2 modes - all our ultra efficiency working really really hard mega-concentration mode, and the other one which is totally useless don't seem to be able to get anything done at all mode. Today is the latter. Link to post Share on other sites
