Work is slow... What to do?

QUAZY50 · 09-17-2010, 11:16 AM

Well I am on lunch right now, but work is very slow today... Not a whole lot to do. I am curious what do others do when work is slow, besides browse here?

I barely have enough stash to feed my self at the moment......

also, your statement could be misinterpreted haha.

find more work to do, or analyze the work you have done so far, and figure out how to do a better, more efficient, or professional job.
Help someone else with their work.
Do more than is expected, think outside the box and surprise yourself and/or your boss.

Done.... Every time I ask if anyone needs help the same answer is given "I don't really have anything for you at the moment." so I say "alright well let me know if you need anything."

So now I am organizing our catalogs.... wish I could just throw them out and people could just use the internet, all the venders say to look their for the most up to date information anyway... dang. O well.

make the executive decision and just start tossing catalogs, then, lol.
bonfire in the parking lot?
Got an extra smoke to help you with the safety watch on the fire?
How about starting on that plan to take over the world?
You will need diagrams and such.

Oh I'm tossing a ton! some of these damn things are from like the 20's I swear. Old nurse uniforms, Doctors smoking cigs in the pictures... so weird.

Diagrams... I do use a lot of AutoCAD.

Watching Youtube videos of Mad Season and Alice In Chains is helpin take time... Love Layne's voice.

I go home...or to the B&M. usually I end up on the net somewhere.

replicant_argent · 09-17-2010, 11:59 AM

okay, something like this:

That should start the ball rolling, you will need either minions or henchmen.

Find something that needs to be done -- not by asking others (who have already told you that there is nothing that they need) but by looking for any "holes". I don't know what kind of work you do, so it is hard to be specific, but go find something. In this economly it is better to be too busy than not busy enough...

Or, you could step outside and have a cigar
