Money = boredom
Apr. 17th, 2012 07:37 pmSo, I have a job again. Just admin stuff, pretty basic and straightforward. The previous person in the position told me it was very busy.
So far I've spent most of time twiddling my thumbs, either becuase there was nothing to do, or because I needed to wait for a higher-up to be free to run something by them before proceeding.
It would be okay if I could openly browse the web, or read a book or something in the downtime, but there is expectation that you're always working, so you read manuals over and over, or just scribble in notebooks or straighten papers and try to make it look like work, it's mind-numbing.
A bit of work comes along and you go YAY! And finish it off in 10 minutes flat and then go back to idling.
*sigh*
