Title: What do you do at work?
Post by: digitbh on July 26, 2012, 06:37 pm
I'm paid 7.5 hours a day to browse Reddit and sit on the SR forums. The other .5 hours I'm nose to the grindstone working.

When I'm not working I'm on the SR or doing drugs.

I masturbate vigorously!  ;D ...actually I don't work, I just do stuff (non sexual... honest!) for money when I need to... that way I deprive the government of tax, that makes me feel good.

In my old job I used to spend about 7 hours a day on the internet and the remaining 1 hour of my shift covering up for the fact that I had just spent 7 hours on the internet. In my second ever job I used to do about 70 minutes work in a 6 hour shift and snort cocaine with the security guards for the rest of the time, I often did free overtime, sniff sniff  ;D

I bet your a boss?   :)

Bosses get all the perks of the job! And leave all the shite to the workers!  ;)

That's why they're the boss - And there are much more important things for a boss to do than *actually* work - They leave that to the workers!  ;)

If you have that much fun at work, I wonder what your free time is like? It must be pretty mindblowing!  :D

Yeah I'd say the lot of the people here probably have tech savvy jobs.  Hey LEA leave us alone or we'll crash your computers!! :(

Last few months I've been doing nothing but debugging 15 fucking years old C++/MFC code and I'm about to commit a suicide! Opiates are the only thing making this job any better! I do spend couple of hours just jerking off / browsing the web, and about 4-6 hours actually working. it sucks balls!

Whenever I get a package of jelly beans, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold jelly bean duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round. I have found that, in general, the brown and red jelly beans are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue jelly beans as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world.

Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.

When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one jelly bean, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to:

The Jelly Bean Company, A Division of Mars, Inc. Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A.

along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this jelly bean for breeding purposes."

This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of jelly beans. I consider this "grant money". I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion. There can be only one.

That was possibly the most epic story of all time, you should set up a bitcoin charity for jelly bean eugenics.

I should probably get a real job so I can justify my income to the IRS. I'm sure they wonder how I pay my bills when I have no job.

There's a kid, can't be older than 15, who lives a few apartments down, and he videotapes trains as they pass by the supermarket. Apparently he only takes videos of "rare" trains, and people really want to see these videos, and he's making several hundred a month just by uploading videos of rare trains for train enthusiasts to watch.

Fuck eBay in the ass. I hate their seller fees, then you get hit with PayPal fees (both are the same company), and then fucking buyers whine and cry half the time trying to get something extra out of you or trying to scam you. Unfortunately, eBay and PayPal could give two fuck's less about the sellers, and will always suck a buyer's dick. I wish they'd at least give me a reach around once in a while, but all I ever get is fucked in the ass.
