-13.30 until 14.30 look out the window and count ships coming by....counted 0


i know i should be whining but i am bored

[C0ckney]

could you not have spent your time more productivly, e.g. reading the paper, scratching your balls, playing championship manager etc.

[BeBMan]

What are they paying for that?

[Lorizael]

Hour and a half lunch for six and a half hours of work? That's not fair.

As part of my job yesterday (I just got promoted), I destroyed somewhere around a thousand magazines.

[MikeH]

Is it your job to count ships?

If so, keep up the good work.

[DeathByTheSword]

no i am an statistics mananger at the EPO (european patent office)

and because of new programs in use all departments didnt do anything last week so i cant do any statistics...


read the paper on the way to work...scratching your balls isnt passing time it is the same thing as breathing air...cant install stuff on this computer

[BeBMan]

Then extend lunch time to six hours.

But you have the internet? So that's ok then.

yeah...but because i dont have civII or SMAX on this computer i am still bored...poly is the only site i usually visit

[Docfeelgood]

Hardly work
not
work hard

[C0ckney]

you would be amazed at how long you can make reading the paper last. i used to work in a garage which seemed to have a customer every other thursday so i used to spend the day reading the paper, including the gardening section and the 4 page advertisment feature with carol smiley!

Take some time to go to some of the internet's other sites. Check out www.somethingawful.com, www.ebaumsworld.com, www.homestarrunner.com, etc.

Slacker!

You should run some statistics on the EPO's past work. How many patents have they granted that should never have seen the light of day, and such like that.

Well, we'll just have to redouble our efforts then, won't we?
