Why's it gotta be drones?

A drone is a bee that does poo poo all but eat and gently caress the queen.

Drone doesn't mean worker or conformist it means do-nothing piece of poo poo that's only good for sex.

I heard that on the radio for real. They were talking about robots replacing lawyers. What'll they think of next?

It was on NPR when I went to get stamps. I'm not making it up. It sounded crazy to me.

It literally takes years and years to get used to it. I used to get sick all the time from being in air-conditioning for 8 hours a day. Now I can deal with it for about 20 hours. You just have to keep going back and slowly but surely your body and brain adjusts. I think after 5 years I have finally got used to open plan offices. That has been a tough one.

I bring my laptop cruise the internet on the customer wifi because they monitor internet traffic on the company computers. Not like I care, they still run xp and are around 8 years old and freeze constantly.

I'll also take numerous breaks to go outside and throw around a frisbee/football/baseball with another employee.

I also have my own office so I don't really have to listen to other people's poo poo going on, and I'll usually play music as well.




edit: seriously, some days I feel really guilty about how little I actually do. It gets p. boring some days too. I did maybe an hour of real work yesterday, and it wasn't even poo poo that my position is supposed to do. I was just bored and did other people's poo poo.

we have an open office plan. it's loving terrible. also they decided they needed to add more to the building, so they replaced the few windows they have in the open office plan with a temporary wall and a poo poo ton of construction noise. and now they're adding like 15 training kiosks to that wall and the only entrance to the new addition to an already cramped open office.

every day I pray that there's a fire that destroys that office area.

fun is for kids OP. As an adult your duty is to dedicate your waking hours to the performance of your labour for the benefit of people who hate you and you will never meet, until you can fart out some kids and raise them to do the same, possibly for the exact same people because the rich will have anti-ageing technology soon and will ensure that we don't.

lmao. I'm still at home sipping coffee and listening to music (I'm the opening manager 2 days a week, but the other days I pretty much choose my own hours) and I just checked my work email just in case there was something I needed to know, and I have an email from my regional manager asking how much I currently make so he can put in for a raise for me.

this guy has the right of it. after having worked in a customer facing position for almost 10 years prior to getting an office job, i can 100% confirm that the worst, most boring and banal office day with multiple meetings that last for hours and accomplish nothing, that day is still better than the best day customer facing / working with end users.

That warm and fuzzy feeling.
Yeah, still not sure why people talk about office jobs being the worst. After construction, warehouse, etc etc, being constantly and nearly killed by the weather, the area, coworker, etc, sitting at a computer is pretty rad.

ed: granted the warehouse job was just physically destroying, not mentally and emotionally. Sometimes I went out on the retail floor to drop something off and the customers would look at this unshaven, sweaty, dust covered hillbilly lurching through the isles and find some inoffensive dork to harrass. Sometimes being inherently repugnant has its upsides.

This is basically my job. I spend monday morning getting 90% of my work done for the week, the other 10% is just opening mail and doing payroll which each take about 5 minutes if I get up for a can of pop in the middle of it.
