Here I am, it’ 3.50pm and I have been doing nothing for the last hour. Nor has anyone else. The admin people are playing with their mobiles, two teachers are chatting, another is playing on his laptop, the vice-principal is reading a book and NO-ONE is working. Yet we all stay. why oh why. Surely it makes much better for your rep if you have everything done earlier and go home so you can do more useful things. I just don’t think whiling away the hours doing SFA at work is something to admire. Oh, one of the teachers has just joined in the mobile play circle. And I’m getting out of here! hooray for earlier finishing time – the rest of them wouldn’t dream of leaving before five.
Let the charade end…please
post-cards from china rock!
And boy can i relate with the why bother being at work doing nothing when i could be home doing something useful and interesting.
I got talked at by my boss yesterday. He suggested that we both (he gets in late too) might want to make more of an effort to rock up at work on time. I pointed out that i suspect it’s more important to rock up on time when it’s actually term time. Because i’m sure the university is certainly getting its money worth with me spending most of each day here reading lj and playing online settlers. yeah i’ve been doing some testing and doco for XP lately – but that takes up approx one hour of my work day..
rather be at home in my garden… work politics are weird… I have a work ethic – and if i have work to do I will do it happily… but hanging around with nothing to do makes no-one happy or feel accomplished…
okay = rant over
biggest amber hugs!
