Is this really too crap to reply to or have I just misjudged the average amount of time a post sits in MPSIMS before it gets replied to?

Pointless Work Routines

Does waking up and going to work count?

I often wonder if I’m actually needed here. Apart from answering the phone (which never seems to ring) and making coffee I don’t have much to do. Heck I can’t even make good coffee.

I want to know what is in the large drawer next to your desk?? :smiley:

It’s probably a box he found at the side of the road.

I wonder why people complain about jobs where they get paid to sit and do nothing. Sounds like heaven to me. :slight_smile:

Yeah, some people don’t know how good they got it, while the rest of us poor saps have to actually do work to get paid.

Bastages!
