[Closed] Do you guys have jobs?

job, yes
at work, no

have battered my back and sat at home on the 'sick' because the boss knows that if I was left to light duties at work it would only be a couple hours until I did somethig I shouldn't which wouldn't help it - I am at my most fidgety when I can't work or ride my bike

I am a forester btw.

Yes I'm bejobbed 🙂

Allowed to use interweb for personal when use when "on call" ie sitting around doing nothing but having to be ready in case "something bad happens"
but not allowed when actually working - I also can't believe the amount of bandwidth & time theft that some people on here can get away with.....

I work night shifts on a temp basis - so only do around 10 shifts a month - so sitting at home ATM. Not working again until next week

been off with a properly broken toe.

and using it for job seeking 😉

I'm a company director carrying out valuable internet research now bugger off and stop bothering me

Yep teacher and a combination of exam leave and "fun lessons" in the lead into the hols (2 weeks and 1 day). Mean that i am effectively baby-sitting whilst watching the kids set fire to themselves.

I have a job though not working today.I work shifts for an oil company who let me have a reasonable amount of time on internet.my company would rather I was NOT working hard (if I am we have problems with the process).And it is quite well paid

Job yep.

Elliptic, you are my new hero. 🙂

Mr Agreeable:

Elliptic, you are my new hero.

Seconded.

Why thank you.

Did have a job - Quality Manager. Made redundant when the Co. went bust! Ironically I spend less time on here as I did at work, but only started posting after getting made redundant (didn't want to leave ( any more of) an audit trail)!!!

Wouldn't have been a problem anyway. Had my own (quite plush compared to my home office) office and was left to my own devices as long as I got my job done. I was directly answerable to the MD who I got on very well with and he was on't interweb constantly n'all. In fact he would e-mail up to my office telling me of interesting sites.

Its no wonder the Co went under!!

Now my job is to find another job... and occasionally post on here to break the monotony! Much like you and your revision!!

Good luck with your exams BTW 😀

working yes.
its my job to monitor you lot.

Stevie - elliptic clearly has the best job in the world, do what he does.

Job - yes, but on paternity leave for another 2 weeks. currently have my week old daughter sleeping on my lap while I type this here response.

Both my older kids are at school tomorrow so I'll be off out on my bike, while the mrs takes over the babysitting duties, hooray.

yeah im always on the internet at work instead of doing what im supposed to do.
oh by the way im an air traffic controller.

Yes, I'm a tube driver.

Haha thanks for all your responses!

It's fairly varied then... I guess there are a couple more IT jobs than most though, so that kind of answers why you spend most of the day on here.

Timber - get well soon... (unless you'd rather spend all day on STW)

Forlorn Hope - Really? I won't be going abroad anytime soon then!

chakaping - Member

Yes, I'm a tube driver.

Shirker! 😆

In the middle of a craniotomy but done one before.

IT - most of what I do takes a while (testing etc) so I just flit between windows while stuff is running. And usually hang around here far too long.

I used to be the person who provided the reports on Internet usage for
the company, so they couldn't get me then! Now, my mate does it.
Thinking about it, I've been indirectly responsible for about 6 people being sacked 🙁 I also had to report the top bod for using Escort service websites (he didn't get sacked).
A Spanish bloke for visiting shoe fetish websites. And a sales guy (married to a Chinese woman) for visiting Asian porn sites.

Yup, got a job - sit offshore surfing for 2 weeks, then go home and do whatever I want for 3 weeks, repeat.

Money's not bad either.

Job - Yes
Work to do at moment - No
Boss that cares - No
Going to be made redundant sometime soon - probably
Should be spending less time on STW - probably

If I have a web window open all day could I just say I forgot to close it (for 18 months)

I do now!!! Just got my first lead as a free-lance cycle instructor. Happy as a pig in s**t

im a lotto winner

There was a thread a few months ago where Hora was blasted for answering all posts, during his working day.

Job, yes (scientist)
not exactly company policy to be on here, but I regard it as my equivalent of a cigarette break when I can't face ripping to pieces yet another crappy contractor's GIS report.

I'm the boss....

My dad's the boss, but he's retired, so me & 2 other guys are now the bosses. Soon they'll be retired though, then the shizzle will really hit the fan.

Now: yes - newly qualified teacher

In four weeks: no - will most likely not have one as there's **** all teaching jobs going in Scotland!
