Man, it's boring at work today.

[terrya]

The bosses aren't here today, no problems (knock on wood) and so far I've played a few online games of "Jeopardy" (that is NOT the most challenging online game)...and of course, I'm here. :-)

I hope things at work aren't too stressful for you guys.

1. Have you tried pretending that it is Apr Fools Day

And saran wrapping the toilets in the Johns??

[truedelphi]

2. Today is a dayoff but I'm so tired from working

[Zywiec]

3. What kind of work do you do?

[terrya]

4. Computer stuff.

Sort of an sys admin. Without the title or money.

6. Ah, I wish it was quiet here...

not particularly stressful, but certainly interesting and lively. :)

:hi:

[terrya]

7. Well, interesting and lively is much better than stressful.

:-)

:hi:

[redqueen]

8. It is indeed!

Very drama-ish, though... which is... hmm... not frustrating, really... more... oh I can't find the word. Hahaha... funny in a sad kind of way, maybe?

Ego! Politics! INTERESTINGNESS! :P

[terrya]

9. That's a pretty good way to describe it!

:-)

[Parche]

24. Lively

Maybe you should be alone?? :hi:

[redqueen]

26. Well...

I pretty much am now.

:hi:

[Parche]

28. Well

:hi:

[redqueen]

29. Yup... pretty much

*sigh*

[redqueen]

27. Grr

[Call Me Wesley]

10. Well ...

Now is the time vhen ve dance. :hi:

[terrya]

11. Hmmmm.

I think my co-workers would suggest that I go home if I did a Dieter dance. :-)

:hi:

[Call Me Wesley]

18. So what are you waiting for?

Just tell them it's already dark in Switzerland, and that you're in solidarity with it. If they won't let you go, sue them for political oppression! :think:

Otherwise, just dance! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM6y_fM9QSE

:hug: Have a wonderful weekend!

[terrya]

19. Not a damned thing, CMW.

I'll gathering my stuff as I speak and I'm out of here! :-)

You have a wonderful weekend, also. :hug:

[ThomCat]

12. I could use some help with the workload over here today.

:)

[terrya]

Now I appear to be completely alone in my area.

:-)

15. Not stressful, just

well... I got a new bit of work today, I have to add a new feature to a program one of my esteemed coworkers wrote. As of leaving work, after about three hours working on it, I was just about ready to start adding the new feature. It had taken all that time to rewrite the thing from the crock of shit my coworker produced into something I'd actually be prepared to put my name against.

As for the coworker? He since got a promotion. :eyes: At least he isn't writing any more code, I suppose.

[terrya]

16. That's pretty damned sucky, billy.

And sadly so true in a lot of workplaces. Sorry you're dealing with it.

Well, I guess that's the best way to look at it...said co-worker won't be writing any more code.

[billyskank]

17. It's the Dilbert principle in action.

Promote this moron to somewhere he won't be able to do any damage! ;)

[redqueen]

21. I thought that was the peter principle...

:hi:

[billyskank]

22. Dunno

I thought the Peter principle was where you got promoted for being very good at your job, and repeatedly promoted until you found your level of incompetence.

The Dilbert principle is where you promote the people who are already incompetent, leaving the competent ones behind (after all, they're actually useful where they are).

:hi:

[redqueen]

23. Ahahaha... I totally thought that was the peter principle...

too hard to fire the incompetent, too tricky to do a lateral move... so just promote 'em to get 'em out of there!

[TZ]

20. I'm bored too.

And I will continue to be bored at work until I get my needed training on Tuesday and then FINALLY on Wednesday I will be able to start learning my job and not just watch people work.

25. Today, wasn't too bad

The big audit, which was somewhat stressful, was yesterday. Today, there was nothing really urgent.
Next week, my boss and the head of the company (who is my boss's boss) will not be there. In some ways, I think that will mean that it will be lower stress. In other ways, I am afraid that I will be forced to deal with things that I am not sure that I am able to do. Regardless, I won't just be screwing off. If it is low stress and I have extra time, I am going to take initiative and start on some projects of my own to show them when they come back.
