It will technically be afternoon in two minutes

My timesheet is so complicated that I literally fill in 30min of admin overhead each week for it. It's an Extensity product that runs in yr web browser, and launches some bizarre external java app, you can't put in job numbers directly but rather have to "search" for them, even though you know what they are already..

looks like i've started 2 min early

My day has just started you bastards

― Milo Smiley (nordicskilla), Friday, 11 March 2005 17:02 (twenty-one years ago)

We have a week off after today, and then I only have four days of work left. Talk about antsy!!!

*Grumbles jealously*

― Michael White (Hereward), Friday, 11 March 2005 17:22 (twenty-one years ago)

yes well after I'm unemployed and have zero savings so don't grumble too much.

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Friday, 11 March 2005 17:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Aren't you moving too, Sam?

― Milo Smiley (nordicskilla), Friday, 11 March 2005 17:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes Michael, in about two weeks. Those of you coming down for SXSW look for my panhandling off the exit ramps.

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Friday, 11 March 2005 17:34 (twenty-one years ago)

isn't that what people talk about in their last frittering hour of work? how much they are going to guzzle in the pm?

maybe it's just me.

My debauched friend Joe is coming into town tonight, he's bringing with him 30 45's he bought at thrift shop for seven dollars.

All signs point to a two day hangover.

Unfortunately, we're having a dinner party. I shall have to sip demeurely. Otherwise known as the slow guzzle.

― Michael White (Hereward), Friday, 11 March 2005 22:05 (twenty-one years ago)

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 11 March 2005 22:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll have two Friday fritters and a root beer float, please.

― Michael White (Hereward), Friday, 11 March 2005 22:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm having "cocktails" at someone's design-firm party thing. This means I'll get drunk and proclaim everything in sight as "butt ass ugly as fuck." Cheers.

― Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Friday, 11 March 2005 22:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm going to a dinner party.

Still 3 more hours of work! :(

― Honorary Banana Slug (nordicskilla), Friday, 11 March 2005 22:35 (twenty-one years ago)

please let me out!

― Honorary Banana Slug (nordicskilla), Friday, 11 March 2005 22:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm about to head to my friend's pre-SXSW party sponsored by Bacardi. I hope I don't get drunk.

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Friday, 11 March 2005 23:00 (twenty-one years ago)

oh they're letting us out early to celebrate the weather. hooray!

― Honorary Banana Slug (nordicskilla), Friday, 11 March 2005 23:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Rotsa ruck Sam.

More things should be sponsored by Bacardi.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 11 March 2005 23:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Hi! I've basically decided to do bugger all work this afternoon and not feel guilty about it. Entertain me plz!

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 18 March 2005 14:06 (twenty-one years ago)

By sheer coincidence, I've just made the same decision! Woohoo!

(today has been crap, crap, crap so far - if I just sit at my desk and surf the web all afternoon I might just regain my sanity)

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 18 March 2005 14:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Hi! I've basically decided to do bugger all work this afternoon and not feel guilty about it. Entertain me plz!
I have been doing this all week, so now I really, REALLY do have a load of work that needs to be done. :-( (As you can see I am being conscientious & getting on with it!) *sigh*

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Friday, 18 March 2005 14:28 (twenty-one years ago)

It's so nice out there. Haven't sat outside at Zilli cafe since last summer so it felt good today. Now I need to do some work with a belly full of pasta.

― beanz (beanz), Friday, 18 March 2005 14:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I've been doing this for the past month. Notice periods are wonderful things.

LIES LIES LIES

― N_RQ, Friday, 18 March 2005 14:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Hehe Beanz, if you were out there at 1.15 I probably walked past you!

I just got an email with the word "sub-committee" in it. Back to slacking, I think. Really I want to play online poker, but there's no way I could get away with it.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 18 March 2005 14:43 (twenty-one years ago)

You probably did then! I wouldn't have seen you though, cos the sun was in my eyes. I still feel a bit squinty.

― beanz (beanz), Friday, 18 March 2005 15:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm anxiously listening to the Gold Cup (more for workmates who have placed bets tahn myself, who hasn't) in the last half hour or so. I've also just discovered Diamond Mine on Yahoo Games, so that'll keep me entertained for a bit.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Friday, 18 March 2005 15:28 (twenty-one years ago)

American Idol on itv2 tonight, woo. Pub vs Idol... hmm.

― beanz (beanz), Friday, 18 March 2005 15:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Bah, as soon as I last posted my phone rang: "there's a nasty problem with one of the servers". Of course there is. It's a Friday afternoon, so *something* has to go horribly wrong.

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 18 March 2005 15:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Ugh bad luck

― beanz (beanz), Friday, 18 March 2005 15:43 (twenty-one years ago)

not much frittering-away for me this fri'''.
*just back from the bank to pay off the hundred grand in agreement with the out-of-court*
...hey, this terrorizer cover-cd sounds just about right for these kinda fr!days, i say.

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Friday, 18 March 2005 15:45 (twenty-one years ago)

It's the first hour of my Friday morning. Too early for frittering?

― sunburned and snowblind (kenan), Friday, 18 March 2005 15:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Start as you mean to go on.

I was in work at 9 this morning, and until 1am last night. I think I'll knock off soon, cuz the sun is shining I there is a pint of cool lager with my name on it.

― Dave B (daveb), Friday, 18 March 2005 15:56 (twenty-one years ago)

And the name isn't 'fatman' lest any wag dare

― Dave B (daveb), Friday, 18 March 2005 15:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm ready to fritter and it's only 8 in the morning.

― VIC MACKEY (nordicskilla), Friday, 18 March 2005 16:03 (twenty-one years ago)

y're an early fritterer, mister.

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Friday, 18 March 2005 16:09 (twenty-one years ago)

2 and 1/2 hours to go. Bored stiff.

*drums fingers, yawns*

SEVEN HOURS OF FRITTERING

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 18 March 2005 16:15 (twenty-one years ago)

In the end it wasn't a serious problem just "oops, we've run out of disk space because noone has deleted any backup files for the past five years". Grand-scale deletion just feels so goooood, sometimes - seeing all those files flying away into nothing.

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 18 March 2005 16:31 (twenty-one years ago)

"all those files flying away into nothing"=frittered away, yay!

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Friday, 18 March 2005 16:36 (twenty-one years ago)

omgwtfzzzz

Eight minutes and counting

― Greig (treefell), Friday, 18 March 2005 16:52 (twenty-one years ago)

timesheet time again. 39.25 hours. now i can buy 'the man with the movie camera'.

― N_RQ, Friday, 18 March 2005 16:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Frittering doesn't come easily. I have been doing nothing but frittering since I came in to work and it's only 10:47 a.m. BLARGH.

― jill schoelen is the queen of my dreams! (Homosexual II), Friday, 18 March 2005 17:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I've frittered away the majority of the day. This means my only option for the rest of the afternoon is to leave early and nap my ass off once home.

How early should I leave, ilx?

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 18 March 2005 21:14 (twenty-one years ago)

you gotta hang in there, leave at the end of the day. either you're in for the long haul, or the short haul. what's it gonna be?
