Current Events > I got a government job

(+) Yeah! (+)

I need game recommendations for my phone because the trope of government workers barely doing work is real

I got told to calm down on my progress.

Out of spite, I dont do work on Tuesday and Thursday unless its urgent. I've watched all of Parks and Rec just for Ron Swanson and because my work is similar to theirs

Angry Birds

Plants vs Zombies

Listen to jre on headphones

I usually watch shows on Netflix when nothing is going on at my job, or play emulated games on my phone >_>

I caught up on so much back log because of my government job.

Idk if you're on a year long probation but you're so going to get fired someday if you keep playing games during work hours lol.

Play Seinfeld or rerun shows or music instead. It's safer and you can get work done.

Stay for the pension?

Candy Crush or Toon Blast never fail me when im bored at work

You should get some Gameboy and DS games on your phone

What job? I kinda want a government job basically for those reasons. And the fact it probably has solid benefits.

Oh wow

Vaccines are mandatory for employment nation-wide so which is truth here

I feel so comforted concerning either scenario

You are working for the SEC and will be watching porn all day

Done ever assume I'm serious. I'm usually just being ornery. I like to see how deep some people can take an argument and I think it helps bring out the good stuff I never hear

Curious about the homophobic part, I usually just 'complain' the LGBT community has their shit together too well and makes everyone else look bad

I'd love to have a gameboy micro, honestly. Those are pretty cool. I wish I got one at launch

If you're not consistent, people will know you're full of shit vs being shit

Angry Birds is a winner. Ummm, Fruit Ninja. And Jeopardy, if you're into trivia.

This unironically sounds like my dream job. I went from working in an intense grocery store job to an HVAC company which, depending on the time of year and the weather, can also be very intense.

It just doesnt gel with my personality. Im a good worker (a great worker), but Im also so sick of dealing with idiotic management and obnoxious customers.

Oh, brother. Why don't you just spend that time reading about the field, or building your library of resources, or some other kind of practice? That's what I did my first few months. I wish I had time to do that now.

You still get idiotic management and even if it's all internal there are plenty of obnoxious customers. I worked at a government job where I was so much more proactive in just doing it that I rendered someone that wasn't even in my job irrelevant and then when I left they had to replace me with two people (and, believe me, this is me not tooting my own horn: they were just that slow). All this for a job that if anyone with any power wanted to they could have easily cut out my position entirely because it would have been utterly trivial to automate outside of some super minor paperwork.

Yeah I used to work for Medicare/Medical insurance here in California and on my first day my co-worker asked me why I was processing the files so fast. He gave me the hint that if I have no "work" they would be forced to send me home so I had to go at a certain "pace" of acceptability and still having work. It was also the first time I can be an "asshole" on the phone telling people "no we don't cover that" without having to worry about their feelings. Totally different then when I had to work customer service at Farmers Insurance Group.

That's sorta the point. Its a take on Cunningham's Law . "The best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."

It's a step beyond, where I'm just the bad guy, and thus I can get more of the argument out that I'm interested in. If they think I'm full of shit, they'll just say I'm full of shit and I know better

To be fair to me, all I said was you cant judge another culture

I know I dont have to explain to you, Mr Machete, that beheading isn't cool

Is it true you're overpaid as well?

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Yeaaah, usually someone else builds on the dumb and I just watch. Sometimes I'm surprised, sometimes I'm scared
