    If I look out the window from my desk there is another building on the other side of the road and in that building is a guy who appears to be in his mid fifties who has an office pretty much opposite my window. His desk faces the door to his office meaning that his screen faces the window and me. Every day he comes in a 9am and fires up solitaire and plays for several hours. After lunch it's porn time and let me tell you he has some interests that are slightly outside of my experience. After a couple of hours of porn movies it's back to solitaire until he leaves about 4 pm. Very occasionally someone comes into his office to talk to him and you see a quick alt-tab to a maximised spread sheet. What a crappy, unsatisfying and boring life, I hope I never end up like him.

      That's very boring, How could he repeat the same thing everyday ? Hope he has some more software installed.

            No let's consider the facts: 0 - He arses around all ay. 1 - He is being paid. No, I can't see a problem.

              But I reckon he's not getting any, if he is I doubt it is what obviously interests him. If he is I'd love to meet his wife!

                That reminds me of Visioneers. And actually I expect that guy feels like I felt when I had a job doing quality assurance. Worst experience of my life. Jeffers morning, Josh.

                        Uhm, blackmail comes to mind.

                        If you truly believe you need to pick a mobile phone that "says something" about your personality, don't bother. You don't have a personality. A mental illness, maybe, but not a personality. [Charlie Brooker] My Blog

                            I am sure that was one of the things featured in his videos. Probably a bunch of black males.

                                A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?" The crow answered, "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. All of a sudden a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it. Lesson: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must have to be at the TOP. I think he's following this.

                                  I know a guy who is a workaholic, and I never understood why until now. You don't have to be addicted to doing work to be addicted to going to work.

                                    But you should be addicted doing little work to make their pay to you worth. I myself not making it worth by keeping my self active in CP since last 3 days.

                                      If I look out the window from my desk there is another building on the other side of the road and in that building is a guy who appears to be in his mid fifties who has an office pretty much opposite my window. His desk faces the door to his office meaning that his screen faces the window and me. Every day he comes in a 9am and fires up solitaire and plays for several hours. After lunch it's porn time and let me tell you he has some interests that are slightly outside of my experience. After a couple of hours of porn movies it's back to solitaire until he leaves about 4 pm. Very occasionally someone comes into his office to talk to him and you see a quick alt-tab to a maximised spread sheet. What a crappy, unsatisfying and boring life, I hope I never end up like him.

                                        Go find out the name of his company. Join there, oust him; and then transform that job, and that company into what you want it to be.

                                          On my placement year from uni I did that with Minesweeper. It was very tedious. A few years ago I was doing it with Transport Tycoon Deluxe. That was a sweet life.
