    Default Is your job like Office Space...?

    Is your job like Office Space...?

    Do you have to take ridiculously long lunches to kill time?

    Do you have 5+ different bosses?

    Does is seem like everyone around you is an idiot?

    etc...

    Man i just got off a 2 hour lunch and now I have to figure out how to zone out for the next 2.5 hours till i go home. I keep thinking to myself I am no longer cut out for this office life... I need to find a new career... I AM SO BORED!!! I keep thinking about that CareerBuilder commercial "Surviving the work week!".

    i hate my job. i work in a call center close to being like an office job only i take calls ALLLL DAYYY long and its so aggravating. sometimes we are so busy, i cant even think. it would be different if i had like little projects to do or stuff to type and have deadlines or whatever, but this talking with idiots all day is getting old. i want to quit all the time, but cant till i find something that pays the same or better because i have a little man to take care of..he's the only one keeping me here.. otherwise i would have quit the next day after i started.

    An hour lunch everyday. Although, it feels like I'm always on lunch due to boredom.

    4, I think. Maybe 5 but I'm not sure.

    Nah, most here are pretty cool. Although listening to them talk about the last episode of Heroes for hours at a time gets pretty old.

    My job is cool. I got one boss, who hardly ever looks over me. I take lunches sometimes 2 hours, but usually 1 hour 15 min. I just push my Profile Computers business 90% of the time or find other things to hustle. But I do have work also. I usually work like 3 hours in a 8 hour shift.

    I think I got it made. I make descent money. Make sometimes more money on the side.

    But no one is ever satisfied.

    the one thing about my job i hate is...

    its a family owned corporation with 30 employees. All of my customers are in New York and PA so i never see my customers except once a month when i fly out there....

    I see the same people everyday... and still gotta dress nice. Basicly we all wear nice golf apparel even though i stare at 4 walls all day. Hell i could do my job in jeans and a T-shirt just as well.....
