No work

I'm at work, and I finished my work.

I've completed the letters of map revision for flooding purposes of 6 states, and now I have nothing to do. The guy overseeing the project is not here, so he can't assign me more LOMR's, and my boss is on vacation in Greece, so I can't get alternate assignments.

I just asked a pseudo-boss what I should do, and he said to "look busy."

lol what a great pseundo-boss LOOK BUSY HA start like playing games

Leave work. If you need to than leave your number if anything comes up. IMHO it’s better to not be there than to get caught goofing off or sleeping on the job. Most people don’t really give a shit whether you are there or not. But if they see you not doing crap then they get pissed, or worse yet they try to push their crap work on you. Leave the office.

but dont you get paid for doin nothing?

I work in a supermarket, last two hours we ahd nothing to do... lol...

We (3 guys) were waiting for empty glass bottles to come in
Normally 1 person can take both of the machines when they are in use, but we were just waiting for someone to use 1 machine and collect 5-15 bottles and then sit back and wait for ~10 minutes till someone puts some bottles in one of the machines again.

well back at my house my job was street racing for money, now i work for my school and get paid 13 bucks an hour

well back at my house my job was street racing for money

You are my hero

but dont you get paid for doin nothing?

I don’t really understand what you are trying to say?

Are you are trying to say that he will not get paid for time that he is not at work?
If this is indeed what you are trying to infer than it all depends. If his “pseudo-boss” is cool and wouldn’t mind (or more likely really doesn’t care) if he took off for the day because he has nothing to do than its all good. Your boss should know better than anyone that coworkers get pissed when they are working and others who are getting paid aren’t. Better for him if you were not there. However if his boss is the type to make him stay even though he doesn’t have anything to do than he needs to accept the consequences of his instruction. I wouldn’t worry too much about getting caught playing games or browsing the Internet.

Or are you trying to say that he gets paid for doing nothing?
A lot of people get paid for doing nothing. In fact when you start making a lot of money you generally get paid for what you know and not what you do. If the shit hits the fan you need to know your shit or your ass is gone. But when it’s slow and nothings going on its generally known that you aren’t doing much.

no i meant that since usually people get paid for working for a hour and it builds up, since your at work still, dont u still get paid $$ per hour?

Yes, if he is on the clock, it doesn't matter whether or not he is actually doing anything, since he is still getting paid.

Happens to everyone.

exactly so why is kockblocker telling him to leave? hes getting paid for doin nothing!

I work in a rather large supermarket. When you get the 7:00 am shift you have to clean 4 bathrooms, the breakroom, manager's office, etc. I didn't really feel like doing much so I found a room way way in the back that takes like 5 minutes to get to and locked the door and fell asleep. Greatest day at work ever.

Well, it would appear obvious tokill has yet to even hit puberty, let alone work.

he said to "look busy."

That's hard work. You gotta move the mouse and click when you hear footsteps...
