What do you unproductive days/moments at work consist of?

Postby AkydefGoldberg » Jun 23, '15, 9:31 am

I was amazed I didn't knock out into a deep sleep on the bus to work today, probably the fasting I'm doing messing up but I just sat down at my desk this morning with the aim of spending an hour or so, shaking off the tiredness but it seems I've probably spent most of the day doing nothing.

Well, I've done abit but not massive amounts of work. Other than that, I've been on Twitter, chatting to the Mrs, reading sports articles and that's it..

If this was Monday then I'd have taken it as I'm always tired and have a lesser urge to work but Tuesday? This is new.

- Checking the Guardian
- Checking the Independent
- Checking the Birmingham Mail
- Checking all three sites again incase a new article has been posted
- Making a cup of tea, even if I don't really want one
- Starting meaningless conversations to pass time with coworkers
- Working out how many hours and minutes there are until I can leave

There's a bloke at my work called Richard who goes for a shit at least 3 or 4 times per day, and he's gone for about half an hour each time. People have started calling him 'Regular Rich'. It's like clockwork - he goes for a shit when he arrives, then goes for a mid-morning shit, an after-lunch shit, and then a shit before he goes home.

Unbeknownst to him, people have started timing him. This began in about November. From November until now, we've worked out that he spent the equivalent of the whole of February in the toilet.

Is this the whole of February in its entirety or the whole of February in work hours?

Work hours. He usually spends between 8 and 10 hours per week in the toilet. He hit the big 150 hour mark somewhen last week.

With the jobs I've had, I had no real downtime to do anything. Maybe a 10 minute break to eat lunch/check my phone. So I guess like Wu said, I just worked. :lol

In my most recent job it was pretty much non stop door to door, had to keep up pace. In the job I had before that it was the kind of job where you get shit done then sit around until someone tells you to do something else. I had a lot of free time in that one.
