All Day on boards in work

Tippex

just had a conversation about this and would love to get AH feedback.

If you were asked to justify to your boss :eek: why you are spending your day on boards what would your response be?

Luckily I don't have to. I'm one of two irish on the entire floor so know one knows what it is and I don't shop out the other guy and vice versa.


If asked, I say it's a tech help site and I'm trying to fix something

Professey Chin

I get all my work done & then some so nobody cares or asks questions

KTRIC

My contract ends in a few days and I'll be f*cked if I'm working.

Standard Toaster

Tell them you're following their sexual harassment thread in PI.

I'm on the dole so I suppose all you good taxpayers are my bosses. I think my hilarious posts justify themselves really so much so in fact that I'm turning down work regularly because I think you guys would miss me too much.

Now back to work with you all.

















j/k I have a job! Just trying to see who'll rise to the bait!

Boards.ie: Nicola

It's my job.

Stiffler2

I would simply tell them I am researching pi$$ blasting and came across this site ?

The Snipe

It normally goes something like this:

Me: "Why are you looking up boards.ie in work?!?!"
Me: "Because I got bored taking photos!"
Me: "But I'd told you.. Your not aloud.. now get back to photoshop!"
Me: "Okie..." *Sadface, and when I turnaround I put back up boards"

You take too long to give me a Yay or a Nay.

You spend too long asking dumb questions.

You spend too long asking me to make changes.

Most of your staff couldn't write a use-case on how they'd go about their job let alone actually do their job and write a use-case.

Your connection is ****.

Your computers are slow.

You don't pay me enough.

I'm stealing this excuse for EVERYTHING!

"You don't pay me enough not to be" would be my excuse.

Ah, I prefer Boards, to be honest. Safer being a keyboard warrior than a real warrior.

cloptrop

Just tell him your pretending to be a customer and are bigging up the company.

hondasam

For anyone that cares, I'm fortunate enough to be able to have my laptop on at work with my manager's blessing.
I don't have to justify anything, which is nice.

cloptrop

That'll explain the 22000 posts.
Security gaurds are the only people i know allowed on their laptops all day.

"This job bores and frustrates me to the point that I lose the will to live and at times am not sure I am even awake. That is why I handed in my notice last week. In the mean time, Boards is keeping me from lapsing into a coma".

That should cover it.

Tippex

I'm rather disappointed at the lack of responses from all our fellow timewasters

Well fortunately im somewhat a supervisor at night so me being on boards all night on my phone whilst working goes pretty unrecognized by management.
