Trying to look busy 0 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Hi, y'all. Been a lurker for a while, waiting and thinking of a witty enough handle name. Not sure if I'm satisfied with my choice. What do you think!? Anyways, I have a few problems at work. Can you help? 1) I don't have enough work to do, but they don't really let me do fun stuff - like use the web. 2) How to "hide" my web surfing habits in the office when others are around. Cheersy!

jared 0 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 sites with fewer graphics (like this one) look a little more like work than one full of pictures. you could also have a work related site open to flick to incase someone important is looking. and dont go to www.****allyall.com at work - its great for filling in time but when the boss sees the url in the history its a little hard to explain.

Ocean11 0 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 When they rolled out the fancy new version of this site, I kept telling the SJ management, ditch the snow themed graphics - everybody knows what snow looks like - and get some of those clip photos of people standing around an unplugged computer screen in suits. What we need is camouflage, not shouting from the rooftops. Did they listen...? Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Darn, I was hoping some of the lovely SJ women from this site would put their pics up - thatd spice up SJ!

base40 0 Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 If they don't give you enough work tell them to bugger off if they hassle you. What are you supposed to do? Link to post Share on other sites
metroid256 0 Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Having a desk in a corner always is a big help. Link to post Share on other sites
woywoy 0 Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Or "by the window". However, old salarymen who are about to get the sack or who come to work but not to work, just to appear as they are working (as alot of Japanese people do) get the "madogiwa" seat and it does not have good connotations.
