::looks at all the filing he has to do. Cries.::
Heh. There isn't really any escape from filing. In fact, I have filing I need to do Right Now. It is, however, not fucking great.
The bagel shop was while I was in college, and it worked out well (better than some attempts at work study things- talk about slave labor!) During the summer, I'd put in 8 hours by 2 pm, was able to pick up a class and then spend a bit lazing at the pool. During the school year, I could pick up 4 hours/day and get to all my classes with no problem. Oh, and my grocery bill shrunk because breakfast & lunch were free. Plus all the 2+ day old bagels I could use.
Of course, I also had to get up at 5 am, be human and deal with humans starting at 6 am, but....
My college work-study jobs were perfect for me - 1/2 time in the theatre dept. office, 1/2 time in the scene shop. I loved it, except when we had to weld a steel set. I hate welding.
Big Boss sent out an e-mail today with a bunch of new "equipment guidelines", and one of the guidelines was that we're only to visit work-related sites.
Clearly, I'm, uh, yeah. Do you think they'd believe me if I said b.org was essential to my daily activities, because without it, I'd flip out like a mammal?
I have used b.org for work-related purposes in the past, you know, panicked and strident demands for information. Therefore I believe that all my use of it is work-related.

Have you ever learned something here that has helped you with your job? Is there even a faint possibility that you might learn something here that could theoretically help you with your job?
You could ask us a work-related question. And we could provide unhelpful answers to it.
Therefore I believe that all my use of it is work-related.
Technical support forum! That's what you guys are.
Of course, I'm also not following the new guidelines because a) I'm the person they call when a computer gets a virus, and that's what prompted the new guidelines, and b) I don't care if they fire me.
