2pints-mate 0 Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Our company is getting increasingly pissed at people spending hours "playing" at work - internet, email, etc etc. How much of your work time do you spend playing? (I won't tell) Link to post Share on other sites

bobby12 0 Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 I spend maybe 5 or 6 hours of the work day on it. The other hour or so is spent on the toilet/making coffee/wandering aimlessly. I think I did about an hours work back in october 2001. Link to post Share on other sites

bobby12 0 Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Yeah of course, we all sit in the same teachers room. It's their fault for not giving me any lessons to teach for the past year. what am i supposed to do, look busy for a year... Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Bobby, You havent taught in a year??? Damn, thats sweet mate! And I thought I had it good with 15 hours Dunno if I could handle being on the internet for that long everyday. I am online all day long but only spend a few mins here and there cuz of preparing lessons and studying Japanese - Im really trying to get 一級 this year and have lots to review from last December and about 20X's more to learn...無理じゃんか Link to post Share on other sites

base40 0 Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 20 minutes or so, I dont have the time or availability to be able to. I find it incredible that some people are employed and use the web for 5-6 hrs a day!!! Thats crazy. Link to post Share on other sites

bobby12 0 Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 hey dont think I enjoy it - its boring! once i signed my contract for third year it changed and i have had to put up with it. sometimes its nice to organise holidays, plan things etc but i could still do that and have 2 or 3 classes a day.

mattlucas 0 Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I'm with Bobby12 I have 3 hours of teaching a day so am on the internet for about 4-5 hours. Gets difficult finding things to do. Only so many things that interest me on the web and I can't look at porn. So I spend most of my time at bivouac.com SJ thetoque.net Gets really difficult in March and August when there are no classes but I have to be at school. Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I bet sites like SJ are not popular with lots of employers Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 At work, maybe 30 minutes or so a day, too busy and not able to do more. Link to post Share on other sites
Siem Reeves 0 Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 ... getting off the topic a little, but... a question for all those ALTs out there, how many of you have classes you are in charge of? i mean, like ones you plan? i'm just curious cos i have 3 classes (each twice a week) that i plan and teach... so i let the JTE know what i plan to do, check they are ok with my plan, and away we go... i'm at a senior high... of course i have other classes too... and with those, i can pretty much stick in my two cents worth anytime... actually, i've been planning a lot of those lately too... the new JTE this year was told by the other English teachers... "in those classes, you will be the assistant...) not a bad situation really... surely there must be other people who get to do lots of teaching too? Link to post Share on other sites

Accrington Stanley 0 Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 I don't have access to the internet at work Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 since the new academic year started i have been given 8 lessons a month, plus one 3rd year class a week. i plan them and often teach them alone. I think the JTE is totally unnecessary and even a bad influence. I also teach 2 days a week at another school where I teach 2 classes a day at least and again plan them myself. I dont use the internet there at all - i use the time to study japanese. Link to post Share on other sites
window-cleaner 0 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Lots of sites are banned at work here, so theres not always a lot that we can see. I use mail though. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I plan all my own classes, write and mark my exams. Lately the JTE has been just standing off to the side. They translate difficult words sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites
