My childhood friends started saying that anyone working after noon on Friday is disorganized and I think it's beautiful.

It don't matter how organized I am, my boss sees I'm done by noon on a friday he'll give me more service calls, shop time or some other job to do.

Just don't say you're done with your work.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That only works until the last call I did calls to pay their bill and now the office knows I'm done my work. I usually just suck it up and take more work, I'd hoestly rather that than twiddle my thumbs for a few hours.

Oh, I see. My work only knows I'm done by when I move my tickets to complete on Jira, so I just leave them as in progress until my due date. I work from home, so I just watch TV or play video games while sitting near my work laptop to respond to emails or chat messages in the meantime.

Twiddle your thumbs? You need some hobbies my dude. There is more to life than constantly working.

I mean moreso twiddle my thumbs while on the clock. If im at work I'd rather be working than just killing time.
