I'm not fortunate enough to have a "job" where huge amounts of time are wasted. There's always something to do as a chef. Usually we wish we had MORE time to accomplish everything we need to do.

They need to make you clean your own offices!!! Time to lean, time to clean (the owner's mantra).

no idea... pretty bored at work too... the art director is on vacation in costa rica.... so I'm stuck here tending to NOTHING.

I guess Tribe at work when I'm bored... but it's slow today, so this isn't helping much...

^^^^if your boss is a man...................tell him you've got wicked cramps..........they cringe at stuff like that................

when I'm bored at work.......I do this.........I need a new hobby.

 

[Cheeka]

my problem is I leave work quite a bit.
its not that I need to be permitted... I can go whenever -
I just want it to seem legit.

- read newspapers, mags
- go on the internet
- call someone
