The bored at work thread


Recommended Posts

Could be worse. I could be without Internet.

Welp, the internet is gone. Time to off myself, lol.

 

Suicide joking aside, im the kind of person that doesn't mind working at all. I value the opportunity to do something productive. It is just learning is where I choke up at.

 

See, I go to an CIT academy where we learn about Information Technology and computers in general. Most of the studying is self-paced with little structure save chapter tests and very little opportunities to actually flex our brains and doing something useful.

 

Its a small campus. Not enough machines that would have us doing something every day but you can imagine me jumping at the first opportunity to work on a machine because it feels nice to work and fix something rather than being buried head deep in books and learning materials.

Mine has become extra lazy. I now have a whole extra week to finish this over-sized Test Case document, thanks to the three day weekend. I'll still probably try to get it done before Friday so I can be ready for any curveballs but... not quite so in a rush now. :lol:

That feeling when your boss returns from being out sick for a week, and starts creating tickets for all the hardware requests that she missed the week prior.

 

I work technical services, and my boss is the only one who can approve hardware changes for the company.

 

Yay. :dodgy:

I frickin LOVE IT when my coworker and I get bombarded with emails saying "WE NEED THIS AND WE NEED THIS RIGHT NOW!" 15 minutes before I clock out.

 

IT'S MY FAVORITEST THING.

We have patients that do that and then get angry when the doctor has already left for the day.

Some people are unable to understand that the ones that serve them are people too... It's friggin annoying.

I get this a lot from working in the movie theatre. Reservations being canceled automatically 15 miunutes before viewing. (and this is stated and written in bold ) and people tend to come for such movies like The Hobbit 20 minutes before the ovie starts just to see a HUGE-ASS line and... complain at employees ofc. GOSH!

Y'know I don't mind my process controls engineering position. Much of my time is spent with the following interaction:

Client: "Well what if I make the valve do this?"

Me: "Sir, if you do that, your plant will explode."

Client: "... Let me call you back."

 

Explosions are fun right?

 

.........yes.

A client approaches me with his wife.

Client: "Two tickets please."

Me: "For The Hobbit?"

Client: "No... that's actually my wife. John Wick please"

Priceless.

 

I love moments like these!

I once worked at an insurance agency and this happened:

 

Client: "I want to pay my bill"

Me: *looks up policy* "Oh, I'm sorry, your policy cancelled yesterday for non-payment."

*explains that he must pay higher amount to reinstate*

Client: "If I come in yesterday, will my policy be active?"

Me:"........." *blinks* "Yes. If you come in and pay yesterday, your policy won't be cancelled."

Client: *nods* "Ok." *gets up and leaves...his policy is still cancelled*
