This is retarded - who likes slow days at work? I only would if my job was to get blown by hot women all day. Then a slow day would be fine with me.

If that was your job, then by definition a slow day would be getting blown by less hot women...so are you gay? :thumbup:

Days like this make me hate the 9-5 40-hour work week mentality that's been drilled into the American workplace since the 70's. :thumbdown:

I have no set schedule and work as needed. Slow days mean more time for me.

Been slow all week for me. Off Monday and Tuesday due to the hurricane. Wednesday worked 4 hours, Thursday 7 and today 3. Going in tomorrow for about 4. All our shipments are under water in New Jersey lol. Only had about 3 shipments all week and we usually have about 15-20 a day.

I hate slow days. I may cut out early today. Fiscal year just ended, so after the year-end hours push, I plan to take it easy a bit.

I've been swamped, so a slower Friday today was nice.

I'm not light on work by any means, just not buried

Love them especially this time of the year before tax season. I can really make my own hours as long as I have enough "billable hours" to clients. So if I only have 12 things to do for different clients that only average about 20 minutes each I still bill for the full hour and get 12 billable hours done in 4 and head home.

This may sound unfair but believe me companies get their money's worth outta me in Jan - Apr. That time of the year I don't get much sleep, food, or even quiet time.

Gonna be a slow night tonight. I'll be the only one in the plant, and I'll have about 40 minutes worth of work to do in the 8 hour shift.

On a slow day, you should put your iPatch over your good eye, just to fuck with people.
