by shitposting on CE. duh.

Or gossiping. :o Or planning what you're going to get for lunch. And in between all that you do a little bit of work and then it is time to go home.

Then you come back the next day and do the same thing. I'm just happy right now because a drug rep brought in a bunch of food for the doctors and nurses and the business office kind of snuck over there and got some too.

I've been warned a few times on here and those days in the office are absolutely the worst.

Also can you explain your sports allegiances? You're a KU fan but a Broncos fan? My only assumption is that you're from Colorado but went to KU (or live in like, extremely western Kansas)

I stream music half the day. And browse wikipedia. There are very few days that I spend all 8 hours working. I could find busy work, but that would just burn me out.

What exactly is an office job? Like what do you ya'll even do to get done quickly and get bored for hours on end? I want that job, you get chairs and get paid and plenty of time to dive into aquatic mines, once was a coal pit but now it's a water ride.

I work for a small company, only three people in the office.

Ya I was born in western Kansas and my dad pretty much made me be a KU fan. He doesn't care about the NFL so I became a broncos fan because Terrell Davis is my favorite player of all time.

I'm also a Celtics fan because all I cared about at the time was KU basketball and so when Pierce got drafted they're my NBA team. But nobody really gives a shit about the NBA in Kansas

But you care about being bored. If you were doing something productive that's challenging you'd find the time goes much faster. I basically go into work, blink and it's the end of the day.

I do get bored. At work is really the only time I typically post on CE.

I've more recently taken the time to start reading (I have my own office so I can just shut the door) and am trying to lay the ground work to start a business. It's perfect because I have plenty of time during the day typically speaking and therefore I can use that time to work on my business while still getting paid by my company.

I'm normally a delivery driver, but we're so slow that I'm stuck in the office because one of the three office workers is on vacation.
