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.
Not close at all. Well, I play on my computer all day rather than actually doing work, but I work in a small business, and handle the shift right after the owner's shift. I play with slinky's and yo'yo's, and I even fling a rubber chicken about to the amusement of my coworkers.
:
: 2) Do you have any hotties in your office or building that you check out?
Yes. There is this blond in the office across the way, and she is too fine. I think she's a little out of my league, though.
:
: 3) Ever get in trouble for being here, or other kinds of web browsing?
No, my boss told me to bring in my laptop because nights are pretty slow, and it was OK to tie up the phone line.
:
: 4) What the hell, specifically, are you supposed to be doing right now you slacker?
General tidying-up and getting to know our storage system.
:
: 5) If you didn't have this board, how would you entertain yourself to make it through each day alive?
I read X-entertainment, the Straight Dope, and Tom's Hardware/AnandTech/[H]ardOCP, and other geek sites, and I've embedded slashdot into my desktop. Speaking of, I need to refresh that. BRB.
:
: 6) Ever do an office prank at this or any other job? Ooh, do tell...
I use my laser light and a mirror to get people from around corners, they never know where it's coming from. And this one time, I launched the rubber chicken towards the office across the way, and it got lodged on their entrance for a month.
:
: 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?
You should hear me rant about heathens and neanderthals sometimes. The worst part of retail is the people.
:
: 8) Where would you rather be right now?
Sleeping. I have to work open to close Sun. Mon. and Tues. because the owner is at a show in LA right now. 11 hours, and I have to be up by 7 AM. What the hell? I don't even go to be 'til 3.
Thanks.
