I have been trying to dump my job
for nearly 18 months. I finally make it clear that I really want out and they force me so stay for a three month notice period. I told them there's nothing for me to do, I turn up late, leave early, take long lunches and spend all day talking on b3ta... and still they cling on, by their fingernails to my retreating ankles..

I know I've mentioned this a million times but it's really starting to drag now. Never made a length joke before, but really, it feels never ending.

I do that, but... *shrugs* I kinda want to keep my job. I'm just seeing how far I can push them.

Well,
My experience of the public sector suggests I could have pushed this for another five years, minimum, before anyone would have commented. I guess other places might not be the same.

Kaol - Yes - the feeling that I'm stealing from the public purse by being paid and required to do nothing is not a comfortable one for me

Becky - It's my understanding that many public sector jobs are flat out busy, but this one certainly isn't. I think the fact that the person who came up with the idea for my job left before it started has something to do with it.

@Belgaer. I'm much the same in a lot of ways, but it doesn't feel naughty. It feels like survival. It's that or stab myself in the brain repeatedly with a pencil to give me something to do. I only started smoking again to stave off the boredom. But I'm giving up soon. Very soon.

It's amazing
how little work I actually do in a day, but how much I appear to get through. Such is the nature of my work - put an experiment on. Sit back and wait for a while. Revisit and get results.

Which leaves me lots of b3tatime. Except when my boss is here, because he wants to discuss stuff. When he's not here I spend half as long doing twice as much work. And twice as long on b3ta.

Oh, and hello all. I see from last night's epic thread that you had a late one!

I'm currently taking an in-between job break so I can work on my own project that's related to my field of work (basically, I'm following my own advice). On the plus side, it means I can have as much b3tatime as I want, but it has it's downside too - I have as much b3tatime as I want and my productivity has taken a massive nosedive. I'm an b3taddict.

I once had a job where my workload was so low that there were times when I did nothing for a long time. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to browse the web for recreational purposes during working hours (with the exception of the lunch-break and the two 'coffee-breaks').

@K2k6: We're getting into the habit of having late-night threads. b3ta is now 24 hours a day. Perhaps this might be the trigger I need to break my addiction.

@ancrenne: Re web-based social life. But you'll soon be meeting us in the real world (unfortunately for me, I won't meet you until the August bash). Anyway, I've met several people from other websites and many of my real-world friends talk to me using Internet-based chat-programs so the line between Internet-friends and real-world friends is getting somewhat blurred.

Re finding job: At some stage, I'll have to be going through the brain-fuck of selling myself in job-interviews all over again.

K2K6 / Becky - I'm also a scientific type, although I took the mega(ish) monetary approach post PhD and let me tell you, the grass certainly isn't greener, just slightly more expensive more's the pity.

Childhood ambition - either vicar(!), doctor or astronaut. None of the above achieved, thankfully (the first), regrettably (the other two)

@ ancrenne
I can cope with ‘grown ups’ (people who are too normal). It’s just that when I do, I can become boring. My wilder side can scare these people. That’s why I often come across as being laid back or quiet unless I know someone well enough to feel comfortable with (or unless they’re a fellow oddball).

I’ve learned to go with the flow, but I can easily get stuck in the flow if I’m not careful.

to be honest
I've found ages 22-26 to be most satisfactory so far

uni was fun, more so as I got older I reckon, and since leaving uni it's like being a teenager with more money, and not having to answer to anyone

For God's sake, you must know my age it's all I ever go on about.

Aw! Belgaers still a baby - coochicoo!

I am proud to be
31 in body and veering between 12 and 17 in mind.

And other than the people who have said so here, I know how old Kaol, Belgaer, and BGB are.

But they all gave me fake names. The private investigator told me so.

34 here. Still feels like I’m in my mid-late 20s, but my alcohol tolerance is sliding downwards. I find my life has ups and downs regardless of age.

BGB made a cake-decoy (which was a cake that looks exactly like BGB), but the real BGB was hiding in the cake that Belgaer stole.

Perhaps if you stoped bludgeoning people all the time, they might want you to be happy.

Happy forthcoming birthday.

Spakka
Maybe.

But really, in reality I'm just a clumsy bugger, always covered in bruises and tumbling over things.

Especially when there's a race to a cake. Imagine the torment - inside a cake, surrounded by cake, but no cake to eat. Horrors.

anyone you'd like to jump out of it?

@ancrenne: you have to be related to me. I currently have *counts* eight bruises on one leg alone. I've no idea how I got six of them ...
(TheWeeWitch hasn't been here much recently .., Mon 9 Jun 2008, 16:19, closed)

But it's the bludgeoning that makes me happy...
Can't they all just wear nice hats like K2k6? :(

(Belgaer is, Mon 9 Jun 2008, 16:21, closed)

Belgaer
No.

If *many* people don't want to be bludgeoned, and one person wants to bludgeon, I'd suggest it's easier and fairer for the one to make a change or two.

Though I do like hats.

of course you're special.

(TheWeeWitch hasn't been here much recently .., Mon 9 Jun 2008, 16:24, closed)

Belgaer
Special is lovely but not the same as 'has carte blanche to twat people with table legs all the time' Special occasions maybe..

Unless we're talking 'special' in which case those men in white coats will take you somewhere lovely and warm :)

Edit - alright PoD :) Welcome to the land of no productivity! I can only speak for myself but I have done NO WORK AT ALL today.
( ancrenne doesn't eat anything that can play video games, Mon 9 Jun 2008, 16:24, closed)

Bludgeon-proof hats tend to be a bit heavy though, and not very stylish.

Fuckin' ace mate, that paints a wonderful picture in my mind.

@ TWW
Thank you! *fondles Kate Beckinsale*

@ Ancrenne
I don't twat people over the heads with table legs. I have style, it's got to be a special spot on the head, can't just hit 'em anywhere or they may not wake up again.

I’m not going to jump out a cake
But I’ll jump out of b3ta and return to the real world.

BTW. My image-challenge entry is now on page #2. Just a few more votes and I could be on page #1.

You speak for me too, which is why I’m leaving.

No productivity?
I was working 7:30 til 3. Made far too much coffee for people.

Coffee shops would be great if there were no customers. And I got to go on b3ta instead of actually working.

though in my case its to russle up a nourishing, tasty and enjoyable meal for my little witchlets.

Ah sod it. Chippy, girls?

Everyone else leaves.

Maybe tonight, if I've not got more important stuff to do. Which I do, but that doesn't stop me during the day.

I have, and it's doing a damn good job. Daft shops try to sell us girlies all manner of sparkly tat to put in our hair, but none of it works for me - my hair just falls down, which in this weather is like wearing a big jumper. I do have long long hair, but you'd think something would work.

Some the best things to keep it where I want it are...

hairbands made from the tights I ladder when I fall over

pencils

teaspoons

this weird chicken lacer upper
