I’ve got four major projects on my to-do list for this time of year, plus one side project in collaboration with other groups, and one task that is increasing incrementally in difficulty as time goes by.
But I’m completed with my four projects and my side project, so the only thing left to do is the incrementally increasing task.
But the incrementally increasing task has a deadline two weeks from today, and with no other work to do, I’m saving it for then to do all at once, rather than completing what I have now and completing the bits that trickle in over the next two weeks as they cross my desk.
Plus no one who can assign me work is in the office.
I am bored outta my freakin’ skull.
So I started doing my school work, but realized quickly that I was getting ahead of myself, and that if I did it all now I wouldn’t have anything to do for the next two weeks. And frankly all this nothing makes for a very dull ACW. You probably figured that out years ago, but I don’t care.
Not sure when the slump will lift, but you can expect more thrilling glimpses (just like this!) into my daily banality in the coming days.
I guess it’s my fault for completing my work so effectively in the first place.
unwoot.
I’ll send you a kinkade to cheer you up.
You could always go this route to fill some time:

Be careful.
Go to Adult swim and play Five minutes to Kill yourself. Premise of the game is your in an office and you have to attend a meeting in five minutes. You then have to creatively kill yourself with random office objects to avoid getting stuck in the meeting.
Loads of fun, great time had by all who play.
The double maul certainly put some fun into this office. Man does that thing fly.
this is why i never do anything efficiently anymore.
that and because i’m lazy.
I do things efficiently. I blog, read blogs, play trivia, check myspace, do research, write my papers, and work. And I do that last one only if I have time.
You really need to work on the whole doing-everything-but-working-efficiently skill. It’s necessary to life.
When I’m bored at work, I raid the frig and eat other people’s lunches.
Boredom is a choice, not an emotion.
That said, you should really try to look busy or they’ll give you more to do!
wah, wah. Come over to my office. I have plenty of overflow work for you to do.
Efficient people make me look good. They look like they are never working. I am always working and I stay late. They are better employees but I look like a better employee.
I’m with aLs on this one. Being inefficient and staying late makes me look good. Now if I could just actually finish a project, the management would be singing my praises!
I see you found one of my favorite “i finished my work and have nothing to do” site, passiveaggressivenotes.com Good thing there are sites for us too efficient workers or we’d just stare at the walls all day
