Man, I'm jealous of you fuckers who can browse Esc during your downtime. All internet forums are blocked at work...
It depends on the job. If you have a little bit of downtime, yeah, it's great. I, on the other hand, have an obscene amount of downtime. In a given 8-hour shift, I only do
maybe four hours worth of work on a busy day. I do data entry and customer service for a fairly small company. Because of the company's size, there's not a whole lot of data to enter, and not very many customers to serve... so that leaves me sitting at a desk with nothing to do for long stretches of time. Even with forums, it's pretty mind-numbingly boring by Wednesday when I start to feel like I've already seen pretty much the entire internet.
When I got hired to this job I thought it was going to be awesome, getting paid to mostly do stuff I'd do anyway in my free time... but it turned into a total Monkey's Paw situation where I got everything I wanted, but the catch is that now the things I used to love don't entertain me all that much anymore.
Desperately in need of a more engaging job.
