Don't be hasty! That 15 minutes of real work you do is highly valued.


If I do 15 minutes of work in a day.....I'm being overworked.

Red quinoa, turkey sausage, eggs, spinach and mushrooms.  It holds up well in the fridge and taste so yummy.  It is my new favorite.

Morning TAN!

I'd like to actually be able to get stuff done at work, the problem is that I can't actually do anything until someone actually shows me what the heck I'm supposed to be doing.  So until then - I shall TAN!

Perhaps just pop your head into your bosses office and just ask?

If nothing else, you C.Y.A. and you show the boss that you take the initiative... which is a bonus.

Yea I would ask. If they realize they're paying you to not do anything that could be bad!

The thing is... I HAVE asked, more than once.  The usual response I've gotten thus far is - that's not really something we need to worry about right now.  Sigh.

i dealt with that for a while when i started this job. just start introducing yourself to people, ask to be invited to meetings, ask people with similar roles to show you what they do, stuff like that. grab books off the shelves and start reading, learn the company's history, etc

I'm trying to do that too.  I've basically got a Patents for Dummies book that I'm making my way through.  And doing research on the PTO website for what the heck I'm supposed to be doing. 

So far I don't think I've screwed up too badly, which is good.

Shockingly I forgot to eat brekkie and then at 1030 was all `Why am I so hungry?' DOH!

Yum. Sounds like a good time. I'm eating leftover jambalaya and preparing notes to speak to rich people later.
