And I was feeling bad…
I think my manager knows that I’m pretty quick to finish most of the things he gives me, especially when they’re marked as “quick task”. So there have been more than a few times lately when I don’t have anything to do right at that point in time. No big deal, I check the news, check my mail, check up on LJ.. There’s no shortage of things I can occupy myself with.
Today I had two really quick updates to make on a site and beyond that nothing else assigned yet, so I put my music on, caught up on a few things. I’m getting addicted to Google News too. And eventually I’m twiddling my thumbs and starting to feel weird. Until I get up for some water and realize that the conversation I’ve been pushing into the back of my attention, yet have been hearing for about 30-45 mins now, is comprised of others on the team just standing around and chatting away. Not that I think they should get back to work anymore than I should, but I guess I shouldn’t feel too guilty for moments of nothing-to-do-ness on Fridays. Especially the Friday before a 3 day weekend.
