Desk Jobs

[Jorgen]

When at my office I am usually spending 25% of the time pushing paperwork, 25% BSing with random people 25% online doing who knows what and the other 25% is a mixed bag usually working around between my buildings making sure whats going on. but I am only here about 50% of the time the rest I am office driving to or visiting a customer, taking the to lunches checking models etc. If I had to sit here 40+ a week I would go nuts in about 3 days.

Man, I hope some of you guys aren't posting this from your work account. lol

I do spend some time on here but generally I'm too busy to waste an entire day online. Plus I'd never get anything done and I actually do have responsibilities. :p

I do, however, have the benefit of showing up when I want and leaving when I want.. taking lunch when I want.. and working on what I want to.

I have a training session to prepare for in 3 hours though so I'd better get to work. ;)

I'm a draftsman so I'm at my desk constantly. Luckily I get the excuse to go for a walk outside or walk through the shop and talk to a bunch of people. I do get restless from time to time but compared to all the other jobs I've had, this is a walk in the park and I absolutely love my job. I've been doing it for a year now and I've had nothing but fun since I started and time has FLOWN by.

do you work in a fab shop?

^ Your job is awesome. Wish I could tag along sometime!

i couldn't do a desk job. i don't have the makeup for it. i really have to admire those of you that do and actually enjoy it. i have had a few jobs of this sort when i was in school. at least i could look at them with the thought that it was something temporary. for me, they were always motivation to better myself and get off my ass to find something better.

This is what I want. This is what makes it easy to be a grown up.

I used to love my job until I found out how evil it is. The scenery was amazing at first but now Idk. I absolutely hate my job because I know what I do is helping an evil corporation. I'm actively seeking something else though

one more week and my desk will be the one in my living room (with occasional trips to ATL).

i don't anticipate having trouble maintaining my work ethic- really excited for the new job.

[mrsleeve]

A good paycheck, no one really bothers me during the day - they just let me get my work done, take the odd long lunch.

Also allows me to be able to make sure the wife has really good healthcare coverage since she is self-employed.

this is me as well but I work outside

Well idk if i can get to any website that would allow me to change my IP. Was using.....ultrasurf? I think. Was great did that got found out and it wasn't capable to connect to the remote servers. Not sure what they changed their security system to but it's somethin' special now!

[Cletonius]

Same at my job. Used to be able to run a remote proxy program to get around our BS web security but they locked that all down. I'll probably get fired for being on craigslist, ebay, and r3v for half my shift. Anyone have an alternative program that can me ran as a portable or doesnt need admin clearance to install? Would love a little more privacy. Especially since these thing blocks ALL streaming media so no tunes for me.

The phone repeater goes down like twice a week so it kills my netflix during lunch habit.

Use a proxy website or modify your browser settings to use a proxy IP.

We're locked down also but I'm in IT so they gave me enough rope to hang myself by. The only thing blocked at my level is porn. Now the userbase on the other hand....they get only about 25 websites to use, all business related.

My workplace doesn't have WiFi at all. We're cable only and we run port security looking for rogue devices.

We have an LTE repeater though so I get killer cell service in the building.

My daily routine:

Wake up late
Get to work 10-20 mins late
Get breakfast and spend 30 mins doing that
Listen to Spotify premium in one ear
Work on emails from yesterday evening
R3V for hours about projects I dream of getting to
Look up parts I won't buy for months
MediaTakeOut.com for laughs and nonsense
Lunch for an hour
tumblr - try to look at shyte that will get me fired
More R3V
cruise ebay & craigslist for parts and random crap
once the below is checked off, I'll get to some work flow from today

Hopefully one day I'll be able to work from home and do this all in my boxers.

[Cletonius]

just make sure you disconnect from your work place's wifi, almost forgot one time.

I would go crazy if I had a desk job. No clue how you guys handle it.
