This is my last discussion before I leave!

Hello Mysdianait. So you use your own laptop at work, that's awesome! Some days I don't have any time to come online but most days have quiet spells where I can browse as much as I want...as long as the boss isn't around :) They say the bosses know what we do online but I've been using computers here for years and nothing has ever been said to me.

Whwn I started here (I am an hotel receptionist and alone on my shift) I was told to bring a book, knitting or whatever to do during the slack moments. There is a computer in the hall which is available for the guests and until a couple of months ago I used that. Of course every time someone wanted to use it I had to vacate it Then a colleague bought the new IPad and I asked what he would be doing with his laptop and he asked me if I wanted it. I said I would, perfectly aware that it is pratically new and he has taken good care of it. I can now be on the whole time I think that just as long as we are responsable and put work first, no-one will mind what we do in the spare time

Lucky you, while I worked at the cinema we weren't allowed to even hold our own phones in the pockets, I know two people who got fired by the boss for being told to put them phone at the locker's room many times.

Hello Dawnald. It's like that for me before lunch but the days usually slow down after that. It's a good thing that you're wrapped up in what you're doing because the time goes quicker. The down side is you don't get to look for funny t shirts online :)

haha you got me! lol

Sorry I misread your comment, typical blonde. Yes I'm the same and it makes the day last forever but the internet is a godsend when the boss isn't around :)

Hello SomeCowgirl. So you made extra work for yourself by trying to hurry lol :) I'm always looking at the clock after 4pm but watching it just makes time go slower. Come 5pm and I'm more than ready to grab my bag and get out of there :)

Yes but at the same time for me it seems it would be not a win win situation as if I went slow It'd be longer before I was able to leave the register, but if I worked faster I was like a bee to honey for the customers. Hmm, I recall never being able to really turn off my light until the exact moment, if not five minutes before I was to clock out.

A bit of a catch 22 for you there then. The boss used to pile the work on me during the last hour because he knew I'd get it done but he doesn't seem to do it now so maybe that's why I've noticed the last hour goes so slow.

Nah, he only knows: ni hao ma? (how are you) and xie xie thank you).

Haha then I think you're safe :)

Hello Jennyze. He is a nice boss, some bosses are just too strict. That's a good cover aswell, learning Chinese and Korean. Let's hope he doesn't ask you to show him what you've been learning :)

Hello Hemsagar. Yes I think you're right. No one likes being at work so we are all keen to get home :)

ya Autumn Gold thats absolutely true

Hello MrDollars. I always watch the clock when it's nearly time to go home. When the boss isn't around I come on here to make the time go faster

How cool! lol What do you do anyways? Does anybody else know you go on this site? $-MrDollars-$

Hello Beanie. Yes I suppose we all watch the clock when we have something important to do at a certain time. It's funny how time stands still though when we keep checking it :)

Hello Ellie. The best days at work are when we look at the clock and it's later than we thought. I don't like to wish my life away but it's noce when time goes quick and we can get home :)

Noce? That should say nice lol :)

Hello Sirrob. It's usually busy at work in the mornings but it gets quiet in the afternoon but I come on here whenever I can. The last hour always drags though, even if we're busy the clock seems to stop but I work at a computer so I have access to the internet to make it go quicker :)

Hello Kalinka. You're lucky to do a job that you enjoy so much. I enjoy mine when we're busy but this afternoon was really quiet and the boss was hovering around so I couldn't really come on here as I'd like to just to pass the time. I don't think I've ever been late home because I've forgot the time though, I'm always ready for home at 5pm :)

Hello Calai. Yes the last few minutes seem like an hour each. I'm sure the clock goes backwards when no one is looking. Thankfully we've been busy today and I've hardly had tome to breathe so I'm hoping for a quiet afternoon :)

Hello Krnavtr.I miss my school days too and I miss the friends I had back then. Are you still in touch with your friend? I remember I didn't like some lessons much so I'd watch the clock for the whole lesson :)

Hello Parrot. I work in a small office, it's okay but tends to get quiet in the afternoons sometimes. That's when I look at the time every two minutes :)

Hello Westbird. Yes it's good when we enjoy working with our colleagues. I'm lucky enough to work with very nice people and we all go for a drink after work on Friday. I've worked with some miserable people and that just makes the job unpleasant.

Hello 2004. I'm glad you're enjoying yourself :)
