This is the thread for senselessly frittering away the last hour of a Friday afternoon

Half hour to go and my brain has collapsed.

I'm reading a book online about the kosovo liberation army.

Speaking of 'fritter': I think if you were to monitor the number of times food is mentioned across an eight-hour stretch of Food Network programming, my workplace might honestly give them a run for their money. The eating of various foods seems to be the sole and intense focus of 99.7% of all conversations I overhear in the office. Scintillating. Scintillating conversation.

I'm ready to go, y'all. It's time.

I was having a tremendously productive distraction free afternoon while working from home today and then a colleague from afar suggested a bunch of us jump on an agenda-free Friday afternoon chat session. Reader, I did not take the bait.

I'm reading an article called "Heidegger and Goldberg on the Flight of the Gods"

i've been in a goddamn meeting for the last hour and it is incredibly intense and i have no idea anymore what anybody is talking about

*twiddles fingers*

currently senselessly frittering

opening tabs. closing tabs.

hungover. took an extended lunch for a nap. nobody in my team is at work today. hoping the phone doesn't ring. listening to christian period Bob Dylan. still have over an hour and a half left

i think today was the most slackinest work day in decades. everybody's had enough.

literally no one is here and there's nothing to do.

the webinar is over. i muted it hours ago

this is the kind of job where keeping up appearances is important though so i don't want to risk leaving just yet, so 1 hour and 14 minutes to go

people were still giving me work until pretty much 4:59 so joke's on me for using up two of my time-off-award hours and putting in my timecard early

anyone else frittering

i've got two more hours of frittering. no i don't want to work. you can't make me.

It's 3:46pm and I'm about to watch The Twelve Chairs, the only one I missed during my pre-teen Brooks phase. Feelin' middle school-y. Will it be over before Mom gets home?

hiiiiiii

internet frittering on a friday afternoon should really bring me more joy than it does

im frittering but I still have over 5 hours of work left and that is dispiriting

i think today was the most slackinest work day in decades

Dude, wait til next Friday.

ugh the frittering

Matt DC otm. I've literally received 5 emails all day.

starting the frittering a day early bcz everyone has left. in-browser video games? hmmmmmm

Have to say, a lot of weekday afternoons feel like Friday afternoons of late.

god i love quiet wasted afternoons where nothing is demanded of you but to stare at a screen for 4 hours

A couple weeks back 'Bang the Drum All Day' popped up while my iPod was shuffling and I just stopped working to dance for a few. It was righteous. Wish I'd had a lei to throw on or something.

I’m frittering until my 4pm meeting

chair-dancing or actual dancing in your cubicle is the bees knees. i do that in the morning sometimes. just keep my headphones on as i walk into work, sit down, drink coffee and my jam comes on.

Work Zoom Happy Hour right now. ZOMG!

hi silby. i also frittered away all of it.

Good bump imo

boss is letting us out at 3:30 today:D

that's awesome

Special Wednesday-before-Thanksgiving edition.

i've been very determined not to do any work today

ughhhhhhhhh

A martini sounds good right now. Or just the gin part.

Rather.

I'm UK but all my customers are US, so yeah looking forward to a quiet couple of days ahead

Having valuable work conversations like "how do they know the raccoons were orphaned?"

Team meeting is over so I declare myself on vacation
