I work in IT. Ticking over is fine. The worst is dealing with one important thing and someone calls wanting instant solutions on another problem. As in there and then, them on the phone. It isn’t quite how it works, we need to get it logged, log on remotely, get all the errors, faff about with connectivity or work here or whatever needs to be done. That rather than talking them through clicking on icons and entering commands their end. Same when they get obsessed with “sending an engineer” even if that takes a day and they can’t see or do any more than we can remotely.

Towards the end of my office job, I was clocking about 6-7 hours a day on dis and started to feel a bit depressed.

Just ran out of time. It took me a while to realise that the Americas were going to be fertile ground, and then I just started listing them from memory, and never got far enough north.

But seriously, Ethiopia??! wtf?

I can easily do a full day where the only thing I do is read this site. Not good for the soul, but I wouldn’t say it makes me depressed.

Like to be kept ticking over. If I have to many calls in a day I go a bit nuts though. enjoy the admin work and work with the library though as I can go at my own pace then.

Basically as long as I have time to go on the Internet for around an hour during the day to catch up with news and DiS I’m happy.

Like to be a tiny bit busy. Enough so that I don’t notice the time until it’s 3pm. Then I like to have a break and I want to have nothing to do until 6.30, then I want it to be a little bit busy so that I don’t notice the time until it’s 8. Then I like to have nothing to do for the final hour.

In my job all our customers are within the company. We are encouraged to value accuracy over speed and the customers wait. They cannot go anywhere else. If I am off for the day there will always be someone else who can take over any job I’m working on. So I like to have work to do but if the list of future jobs is long, there’s no stress, no rush, no need to work through lunch or work late. If things get really busy we are invited to work on Saturday for overtime pay at time and a half or Sundays at double time. But it is always said that it’s voluntary only and no one should feel they have to. And they do mean it. Having quiet periods is pretty boring though. There’s only so many lynda.com training courses I can do before I feel like falling asleep.

Less busy. Still at fucking work.

I’d like to be as busy as Big Head in Silicon Valley when they take him off all projects and he just has barbecues on the office roof
