Okay so seriously, my boss is out of the office for the entire week of Thanksgiving, so as long as the work gets done, I'm free to do whatever. The e-mails took maybe five minutes to get through, and the phone hasn't rang all morning, so here I am!
I've had jobs in the past (everyone remembers the shoe store) where I could literally just sit on the internet the entire time, and then I've had jobs where there was just too much work to do and I couldn't get away with anything or it'd be obvious that my time wasn't spent wisely. I was wondering how many of you guys have had complete blow-off jobs like this one where you get paid for almost doing nothing. xD |

Lucky. D: There's a camera right on the ceiling where I work so I can't stand there doing nothing. There's always something I can do. D:

My job is kind of a catch 22. I work for one of the biggest investment firms in the world so usually the phones ring, but I am always watching youtube anyway, so i guess you can say I'm never all that busy.

I work at my school, so it's pretty laid-back. No dress code, no real rules other than no food or drink, and all I have to do is make sure all the e-mails for help requests are answered/resolved, and be respectful and patient on the phone. :P

I'm at work right now. It's not completely a blow-off job, but there are times when I am free to go on myspace, facebook, or cb. It helps when my boss isn't at the office.
OMG, I got business cards! Yay. I feel so cool. |

I'm a farm kid, so when I'm working there's no computer near. Plus I work outside, so either I'm really hot in the summer or freezing my ass off in the winter. It SUCKS. Getting a regular job, as long as it's indoors, will be so much better.

I'm a swim instructor, so I kind of have to be busy. Most people would consider it pretty wrong if you let their kid drown.
Then again...
