    My childhood friends started saying that anyone working after noon on Friday is disorganized and I think it’s beautiful.

      It don’t matter how organized I am, my boss sees I’m done by noon on a friday he’ll give me more service calls, shop time or some other job to do.

        That’s where you’re going wrong, you still need to pretend you’re doing work

          That only works until the last call I did calls to pay their bill and now the office knows I’m done my work. I usually just suck it up and take more work, I’d hoestly rather that than twiddle my thumbs for a few hours.

            Oh, I see. My work only knows I’m done by when I move my tickets to complete on Jira, so I just leave them as in progress until my due date. I work from home, so I just watch TV or play video games while sitting near my work laptop to respond to emails or chat messages in the meantime.

            Twiddle your thumbs? You need some hobbies my dude. There is more to life than constantly working.

              I mean moreso twiddle my thumbs while on the clock. If im at work I’d rather be working than just killing time.

        It is. You should try to move to a career where you sell the results of your labor, not the time it takes to achieve them. Easier said than done, I know. Good luck!

          I think I would have to get a govt job in my career path to be able to do that. I’ve considered it, but idk if I really want to or not.

      I already finished all my work for the sprint that ends on Tuesday. It’s Thursday at noon currently.
