Getting busted at work. Options

[xquizit]

So I have a confession. I don't get a lot of work done at work. My mind is too restless, I have trouble focusing so I tend to wander off and do other things (like post on CB).

For example, earlier today, I had an epiphany and decided my next random venture would be to learn how to play the ukulele so I did some research on google.

But anyway...

So my (hot) boss/supervisor/whateveryouwannacallhim comes over to look at some stuff I've been working on and he asks me to google something real quick so I bring up my browser and begin to type into the google search bar and you know how when you search something in there, it leaves the text in the search field long after you've already searched. Yeah. So "ukulele" was still in there. He just gave me the dumbest look and made a joke about how he hopes I don't plan to ditch my job here for a stint as a ukulele musician.

Yeah, stupid story, but I'm bored.





So have you guys been busted at work for doing anything other than work?

Brenden! Hi.

I don't have a job, so I can't be busted at work. I've never been busted for doing anything wrong at school though.

Brenden! Hi.

I second that! *waves*

A couple of years ago I got busted spending too much time at cB (on the internet period). I was told that it was cool to browse when the work was done. The problem is, I completed things much quicker than they at first realized, so when they did bandwidth reports, I was mortified. (I'm very cautious about my time here during work hours now).

I was once accused of taking 12 smoke breaks, which was absurd. I worked on the 8th floor. For me to ride down 7 floors to the lobby, walk around the building to the smoke area 12 times would have meant that I would have never been at my desk. I had completed a monster month end report, had 2 meetings and scrubbed 5 files. Yeah, I took 12 smoke breaks.
