Wasting company money on the forums
So I am an office temp right now and roughly 40% of my work day is spent here on the forums. Who out there also rips off their company to post bullshit and make fun of people? Also how much are you costing your company per day in forum-based time wasting? I rack up a measly $32 a day. Someone has to be able to beat that.

Well, I have two screens. One for working, one for trolling the forums or chat. They don't seem to care, since I put out as much work as the other temps here. It's probably half and half, so about $50 in wasted time money.

I work for a County Government. The taxpayers of lovely Jefferson County, Colorado are paying me to keep on top of the forums.

I'm quite good at procrastinating so I usually switch between work and browsing sites. Me and one of the other guys at our work play a networked football (soccer) management (Football Manager 2006 - for those that know
![]() Still, if works gotta be done it gets done. I'm usually pretty good at staying on top of my work. |

The most is probably around $100 a day. And then there are some days when I can't even get to the forums. That's how you know you need to get a new job. Even once a week is just inhumane.
On the side, I do programming and my low price is $70 an hour. I don't even want to calculate how much money I could have made if it wasn't for the forums. |

The only thing better than wasting the company money on the forums is leaving the office for a "meeting" and getting paid for something you actually enjoy. You could go home for some sex and after you blow your load you can say "I was just paid for that!" Its almost like being a low wage porn star if you think about it.
