Is there even a point...

[bace]

Man, holiday period is so dead at the office. Is there even a point to being here. Other than to make yourself look busy?

How do you all make yourselves look busy?

Right now I obviously look like I'm writing an e-mail, while similtaniously holding the phone to my ear.

BUSY!

Anyone here can answer that question - web research!

I think that's what everyone else is doing. One of the guys here just posted this exact thread on another forum that we both use.

Well...not the EXACT thread, but ya know, just like it.

Yep, it's multi-shirking season - you can pay your bills, chat to a friend on the phone, surf the web and as long as you do it fairly frantically you should look busy enough to put people off questioning your activities.

I had one of those before. No doubt about it, I need to hire more staff.

web research, email, run useless reports multiple times, make phone calls when other people walk by, and i go on "sales" excursions where I pretty much just drive around and get rejected.

Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too, I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

anybody?
