Wasting Time at Work

GuitarJerry

How did people waste time at work before the internet.

When I first started working, you could smoke at your desk. LOL. So, smokers didn't get special breaks like they do now.

What did we do? I don't remember. It certianly was harder to screw around than it is now.

People did like I still do half the time and wander around talking to other people to waste their time.

I'm really not sure. Wondering the same thing about cell phones. I left to the store the other day forgot my cell at home and had a mini panick attack. LOL

when working in offices I would always get told off for doodling on invoices etc. lead to now being self employed doing biro drawings! lol

I think they went to meetings or actually talked to other people they could see and touch.

Being a good receptionist: 10% focusing on work, 90% not being distracted by the internet

Thank goodness I'm overly efficient. I have my work done through the whole month of May, and I'm on the internet or my phone probably a good 90% of the time I'm at work...and my boss just recently told me I'm seriously the best receptionist he's ever had, and with the "most uplifting, positive attitude"

My dad had all sorts of wind up toys and other neat things to play with. I used to love going to his office.

Despite having free access to the Internet and no one ever controlling what we do on there, I actually spend a shocking amount of time reading (you know...books!) at work.

Yeah, I know... :embarassed:
