Back in the day
when I used to look at directory entries in BT I also used to work on the faults desk with a number of BT engineers on the broadband side of things. Now obviously I was just at this job to get some extra beer money while I figured out my career (still telecoms it appears) and so a lot of time was wasted on the internet.

Till I got caught by my boss by spending wayyyy too much time on the t'interweb...

Got taken into a little office with my boss who basically said 'You;re spending far too long on the internet and not enough time doing tickets, sort it out' and then gave me a really low expectation of how many tickets to do a day.

Cue My mate and me doing the requisite number of tickets in the morning and spending all afternoon on the internet and MSN, it was ace!

So a lesson for bosses, don;t set your expectations too low for your employees!
They will take the piss!
