hypothetical by my store manager.

immediately my memory flashed back to about a month ago when me and the assistant manager (who has since been fired over bullshit) threw a few hundred spoiled eggs at the rocky cliff behind the store.

When I worked at Dell as LCD monitor repair man and used spare parts from a monitor to make a wind-up plane. My supervisor ended up catching me and didn't even get mad but was actually impressed. Got the bitch to fly up to 40 feet.

Well, if the question was being asked by my supervisor, I would've given some BS answer about always enjoying my work.


Apart from that, before they banned Youtube, I would use it to watch old episodes of MST3K. That was a lot of fun.

Haha yeah, you got to watch episodes in your lil' corner there, but my back was exposed to the world so everybody could see what I was doing. :O

That said, I did film and edit that crazy Nerf war video which I was really happy with, but I think it's now lost forever on a PC there... if the drive wasn't already formatted that is.

Yeah, youtube getting banned at work has definitely sucked. I made it all the way through the real ghostbusters first season before they caught on.

I have fun at work every single day. If I didn't I'd be weeping uncontrollably pretty much constantly. :(

The closest I can get to fun is following an attractive woman up the stairs once and a while.

I guess the last highlight I had at work is when Dimnos posted that ad for the knifespoon.

Probably the most fun I had at work was when I was working in this frozen yogurt place a few years ago. I was always working with this girl Alicia who would always make me download DOS games or cornrow my hair. One time I brought in a guitar and amp and we spent all day making a cover of Push It.

Kahljorn you should be ashamed. In some cultures it is punishable by death to speak to women who are menstruating.

My pay at the piano store was lousy and I think below legal minimum wage but, damn, there is nothing to beat a piano store if you want to sit all day and not have to deal with customers. I could go a whole shift on a non-lesson weekday (and sometimes whole days on Sunday, if I had to be there for a sale) and not see a single other person. Once the minimal store maintenance was taken care of (ordering sheet music, processing credit card receipts, making sure the lesson schedule was up to date, etc), I could pretty much get paid to do whatever the hell I wanted for 4-8 hours.
That included doing my music theory homework on my choice of about 35 pianos, including antique Steinway baby grands.

That was the last time I actually had fun at work. Many things in my subsequent hospital career were interesting, but I don't think I'd ever call them fun.

What do you get for beating it up sexually while a woman is making bleedytimes?

I work in a dv shelter, so it's never really "fun" but I get to dick around on I mockery and other stuff....if I liked kids, I guess it would be much more fun, but I hate them, typically....I work nights so I get high when everyone's asleep

i wasn't zoomin' in a security camera's field of view, PROBABLY. the loading dock's got cams and i did go over by the doors but there's only a small window so it is unlikely to have had footage

I used to do that sometimes at Safeway. We had this outstanding chair that would spin really fast and roll really really fast. I snuck it into the front office so I could use it. I also took out the rubber pads on the floor so I could roll from counter to counter very quickly.

I used to have to go around the store with a handheld device and scan every tag that was an out-of-stock. One time I did it after the store closed, on the motorized handicapped cart. Only the low-level out of stocks got counted since I didn't even bother to stand up to reach the top shelves. I tried doing a few "drive-by" scans, but the handheld was too shitty.

When I was 17 I worked at the information booth at my mall and did volunteer work at this elementary school(So senior year of high school I had work 1 week then volunteer custodian the next) It was a lot of sitting around being bored so I made it through the entire Dragonlance series in a year.

I was doing some temp work when Michael Jackson died, and the whole office spent the day making bad puns about his death featuring song titles. That was surprisingly entertaining.

Yeah I like get stoned before I'm about to check people's vitals and before like I draw their blood. It's so funny watching them get scared.

Doing some programming for a newly founded game company. Right now we're trying to finish off the code of an asian game company and it's a goddamn boring mess trying to figure it out.

Before the place shut down, it was irc when I was doing mundane tasks. That and the time in our old office a co-worker and myself used the copier and stale doughnuts for bb gun target practice.

The last time I had fun at work was when a friend and I played "Forklift Jousting", which is two forklifts (forks raised up halfway) driving full speed towards each other. First person to swerve loses.

Technically it's playing chicken but Forklift Jousting sounds so much better.

At my last warehouse job we used to race pallet jacks in the parking lot. That and use those big ass carts for bob sleds.

Ah, How could I forget the pallet jacks. Those things are great.
