I’m supposed to be writing a search statement that a customer requested. But, that’s about 10 minutes work, and I have 80 minutes left, so it can wait.
Other than that, I’m just waiting for the stragglers to submit their football picks.
I’m supposed to be annotating notes and clarifications to a new record contract for one of my artists before it goes to our attorney.
Horribly tedious stuff. Have you ever seen a record contract? This one’s a short one, and it’s still over 60 pages of maybe 9 point font. And I have significant notes and corrections for just about every damn paragraph in the thing.
Normally I can deal with these pretty easily, but I realized that a) it’s Friday and b) right now I really don’t give a sh*t.
So here I am.
Lucky stiffs. I don’t have internet access at work. When I want to goof off, I have to play Free Cell or Minesweeper.
I’m supposed to be proofreading medical documents and generating quality reports. I only have four left for the month, which is maybe 45 minutes worth of work (I was a bit too efficient this week in getting everything done before I leave on vacation). Aside from that, I have jack to do, unless I want to go hunting for a project, which I don’t.
Well, if you’re talking “should,” I think I should be gleefully crushing the skulls of the Ernst & Young SOX-compliance consultants with a cinder block, but for some reason management disagrees.
I’m at work…
I guess maybe I should be doing practice jobs since there’s no work…
but, I’m only working in this dept. until my trainer gets back from his training to train me for another job.
Plus, I’ve just spent the last 5 hours working on a hellacious job that no one else wanted to touch.
So I think I’ve earned a few minutes of SDMB!
Right now I’m supposed to be transferring a user’s personal data from one laptop to another. Actually, I am doing that right now. I’m waiting for the files to finish copying.
This is funny to me, because later tonight, I’ll be checking for journal errors on our accounting system. Get to work Otto! And make sure you enter that stuff correctly. 
I’m waiting for someone to rob a bank, have a heart attack, or set something on fire.
But since it’s 5:49 on a Saturday morning here in Hooterville, it’s probably not gonna happen anytime soon.
I’m supposed to be working on a painting, but the turp fumes are giving me a headache. Also I am lazy.
Right now I am supposed to be finding cable pairs and programming and stuff to get people dial tone. But, I am way out on my due dates so nothing is urgent - even if I did my part the techs aren’t scheduled to go out until at least late next week so there’s not much point.
40 minutes left and then I can go home and watch Van Helsing (I picked up the DVD at lunchtime. David Wenham and Hugh Jackman - it’s like they made the movie just for me )
Since the OP was posted at 3 o’clock, I’d probably be deciding which tea I should be making. After making and drinking the tea, maybe thinking about writing a report, or perhaps wondering outside to watch other people work.
Seeing as I haven’t been to work in two weeks, none of the above intensive labour applies.
