In Reply to: A Special Poll For Anyone at Work Right Now posted by Trent Reno on July 21, 2003 at 15:20:28:
: When Bomb accidently (actually, purposely) put a nude pic in the post and I looked at it at work just now, it inspired me to do a poll just for the peeps at work.
: 1) First of all, how friggin close to the movie "Office Space" is your job? Sorry, I had to get that question out there.
Never seen it all the way through, so I couldn't say for sure. Not VERY close, because I work for an educational institution. I've worked in places that more closely resembled what I can recall from Office Space.

: 2) Do you have any hotties in your office or building that you check out?
Nope.
:
: 3) Ever get in trouble for being here, or other kinds of web browsing?
Not yet....
:
: 4) What the hell, specifically, are you supposed to be doing right now you slacker?
Oh, lots of stuff. I used to be a good secretary/assistant, but I've had a series of jobs that I hate, and thus my performance has slipped rather dramatically. I should at least be filing and trying to clean this place up, but frankly I couldn't be buggered.

: 5) If you didn't have this board, how would you entertain yourself to make it through each day alive?
I'd find other places on the internet to entertain myself. The Tenacious D message board is one of my regular haunts, but it's been a bit dead lately. I also play around on Neopets. Other things make more noise than I can really allow myself to make at work.
:
: 6) Ever do an office prank at this or any other job? Ooh, do tell...
Probably, but nothing comes to mind.
:
: 7) Ever snap at someone or tell off the boss or do anything to demonstrate that you are a human being and not a mindless worker?
All the time. The reason people tend to like me at the jobs I've had is that I have a sense of humor. I do (or try to do) what's asked of me, but I also make a point of keeping the people around me smiling (not in a shiny, happy people sort of way; more of a wry grin at some sarcastic comment I've made)
:
: 8) Where would you rather be right now?
London. NYC. NJ. Anywhere but here. And by here I mean the Albany area, not my job. Today, for example, I'd rather be at work than at my apartment.
