My boss calls me "Dwight" from time to time in a lighthearted reference to The Office. It's usually when I insist we stick to the rules on something, or go about a task in an anal way, which is my style. Of course, I make no apologies for wanting to do it right the first time, and according to the rules. It drives some of my more laid back coworkers nuts, but that's their problem. At the end of the day, I know I did the right thing.Originally posted by Jeffro View Postlmao nice i'm gonna have to show that one to my boss
Again, congrats, Jeffro! It's always nice to get a pat on the back.

ok so i'm at work, surfing cains lair (lol) and my boss comes up to me and he is like "jeff the regional director wants your to go to an outside salesman meeting in atlanta in april" so long story short i'm going, but the thing is that i'm inside sales so therefore they thinking about promoting to outside sales it would seem. so ok i'm all happy with that, and then about an hour i'm surfing the web again and my boss comes up and says "oh by the way i gave you a raise" WOO000000000T! how cool is that?! man i must be doing something around here good huh? maybe posting on cain's lair all day is actually beneficial to somebodies' career? lmao
Wow....wish I could find myself a job where I don't have to bust my ass, and just surf the web and get paid for it.
Didn't think they existed.

In my field...I'm in the field alot...so rarely use a computer to do the net...and some of the employers I had worked for, have these strict internet usage policy, so they aren't as lax, and sometimes will get called out on the carpet if you're browsiing sites NOT pertaining to anything work-related.Originally posted by Jeffro View Postwell tony i can't just sit around and do nothing all day lol... i work in the shipbuilding business so its weird when it gets busy or slow, so liek some days its gonna be dead slow, but if a rig comes in we have to bust our ass.... but its not constant business... so we have a ping pong table and dart board to free our time haha. oh and moe no biggie man i was just givin ya a hard time
Right you can browse the web, as long as it is WORK related, but that's about it. And of course, if the boss see's "cain's lair" on the screen...he'd be like "Hey, cut that out!" LOL
Heck, even if you have " Downtime" some bosses won't let you do it, they figure you better FIND something to do other than browsing the web...so some bosses have hang ups with employees browsing the web..the assume "pick a broom and sweep" or something
or just "look busy".

the just look busy idea just works when you working in retail or something like that b/c customers want to see you working. in an office enviroment such as mine there is no point in looking busy other than just kissing butt to the boss. but our boss doesn't really care as long as he is making money and looking good to the district and regional guys, therefore we have play time
but today is not one of those days. just spent half the morning on the phone with a vendor whose head i'm about to rip off b/c they making me look like an idiot to my customer blah!
