These people dont realize the amount of slacking that needs to happen. They just call and interrupt it.

It is. I mean we are just sitting in the office watching tv and surfing the internet then bam people call and want us to help them. Dont they know we have tv shows to watch and things to find on the internet. I will be glad when the new monitors are installed. We are upgrading the one the tv was on from a 50" plasma screen to a 60"screen.

I wish it was like that. I have had nights where it has been so busy you get to the end of the shift and see the next shift walk in the door and wonder where the time went. Then you realize that in 8 hours you havent left your chair to do anything. And that you also have lunch for the next day because you didnt get the chance to eat the lunch you brought. Then there are the days where you count the holes in the ceiling tiles.

I can only sneak in a little phone time when the bosses are in meetings. Otherwise I have to at least pretend like I am working at times and still keep production times decent. Wish I could look up truck stuff while I was at work like I used to do in school.
