Poll of the Day > today's poll : Playing Video Games while working

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's missing an option or two! What if you're the owner and play when it's slow? ;)

My husband runs the shop but I play on phone/tablet/3DS when nobody is coming in and paperwork/shop BS on my end is up to speed.

Needs an "i own the place, who cares?!" option.

That'd be a good addition, but we don't actually make the polls here. :p

I used to break out my PSP at this place I worked that digitized deeds and played some Tekken 5:DR.
---

i used to play when I was working from home. Funny enough, I used to work for Xbox Support and when it was downtime or even on calls while a customer was gathering some information, I'd start playing.
---

It doesn't even have an option for handhelds, so no way is it going to cover that scenario =x
---

Yeah I came to say it's missing a few options. There are jobs that allow you to play during slow periods, or for example night security guards who can get away with playing a handheld at their desk because it's so dead. The poll is aimed at playing when you're not supposed to
---

Or an option like "I play on my break" or "During lunch time". You're still at work, but it's on the up and up.

One job I had I played STO while working.

when i worked at TrU, I had Pokemon Go going in my back pocket hatching eggs as I collected all the trash in the lot, bushes, docking bay. Even little bits like candy wrappers had to be gone. Took at least 2 hours every shift, so I hatched eggs and evaluated on breather breaks I was 'allowed' (I had major health issues and wasn't allowed a legal break during a 6 hour shift AGAINST OSHA but took a 5 minute break anyways).
TrU wonder why they died, that's part of it. Mistreatment of employees. My business even treats our property maintenance (groundskeeper?) as gold, he also washes and waxes our car at a break for computer repair work on our dime. We even sent our mail carrier lady flowers when we learned her husband passed away suddenly.

But now I can just pause my game (tablet, 3DS, solitaire or whatever on PC) when someone walks in or something needs my help like holding a small part still while one of the guys uses glue and tweezers or something.

I brought a vmu to a job years back since most wouldn't recognize it. It became too difficult to hide the gaming that it wasn't worth it. The job wasn't great and they wanted you to look available always. I couldn't even bring in a crossword....
