View Full Version : What are you doing at work right now?
floopy 05-11-2004, 01:33 PM I find other people's jobs quite fascinating.
So how are you currently filling your time? Give us a flavour of how you earn your keep.
I've moved on from Technology reports, and now I'm ranking year 9 boys by their predicted Key Stage 3 results so they can be streamed more effectively.
Not terribly interesting though
Andrea 05-11-2004, 01:37 PM My husband keeps me:D
My last job was in Florida where I was a charge nurse on a 40 bedded medical/surgical ward. Used to work nights and look through a hell of a lot of patients charts making sure all the orders that had been written that day had been done.
When I wasn't in charge I'd be looking after 6-8 patients who had just had bowel surgery:D

That's still illegal in some parts of the country!
floopy 05-11-2004, 01:41 PM :shock: Even if they volunteered?
Bonsai 05-11-2004, 01:44 PM I am just about to look into our company database, and see how many leads we have had in over the last few days. I then sort them, and distrubute them depending on their location.
Voice of reason 05-11-2004, 01:45 PM I am supposed to be writing a hypnotherapy script for a client's appointment next week, I've done about half of it so far!
Groucho 05-11-2004, 01:48 PM I'm trying to buy some China Development bonds for a hedge fund in London.
He wont pay the right price, and all I've managed to find so far are 2 other buyers.
Strong employment numbers in the US have finally galvanised the buyers into action.
Ceridwen 05-11-2004, 02:25 PM I've just finished writing the last of about fourteen different guides for various businesses on the new Licensing Act 2003. This has involved ploughing through 350 pages of the Act, 500+ pages of the Regulations and 178 pages of Government Guidance.
No wonder I have a headache. :(
I'm about to leave.
Went f'ing mental this arvo.
See you at home.
When are we going to start drinking? :drinking:
Dolores 05-11-2004, 02:51 PM When are we going to start drinking? :drinking:
I've had half day today Cat so you've got some catching up to do.
Minklemar 05-11-2004, 03:04 PM I'm scoffing crisps, drinking cola and reading SO!!
Bonsai 05-11-2004, 03:35 PM Absolutely NOTHING :sleepy:
Blink 05-11-2004, 04:16 PM I have had a very stressful day, trying to get a firm of solicitors to deal with a particular matter so that some clients of mine could move into their house today. I also had a somewhat easier matter complete this morning, and I believe some other clients are now moving excitedly into their new home even as I type.
I tied up a probate file first thing this morning. Not a huge estate, and lots of debts, but a HUGE amount of work, and some very nice beneficiaries who it has been a pleasure to work for. Very pleased to be able to send out some large cheques to them.
On top of that, I have dictated various letters, solved some computer problems, and spent a lot of the day on the telephone. I am now off to the hospital to see the boys. That short sort out my stress levels. :)
Normally I would be speaking to customers about their accounts *boring* but today - I have the day off, so I am chatting to who ever is out there listening :wink2:
maxine 08-11-2004, 02:03 PM Today at work I unpacked and packed the same cupboard 3 times looking for something that wasn't there, helped some children write numbers and letters, sang 'I've got 10 little fingers', and cleaned the toilets. Very glamorous.
Ceridwen 08-11-2004, 02:27 PM Had a meeting to discuss the implementation strategy for the new Licensing Act 2003, came back, organised some training I have to provide for the admin staff, and devised some forms for them to use when applications start coming in.
Really am VERY bored of this piece of legislation now. :dry:
Aspen 08-11-2004, 02:56 PM Proof reading an advertisement before it is sent out
floopy 08-11-2004, 08:10 PM I did very little of use at work today as our network is still down.
Instead I ordered myself a new phone for my birthday, and e-mailed rude stuff to my friend.
Bonsai 10-11-2004, 12:49 PM Weeeelllllll, i have just been working on our database again as there were a few duff entries. This this afternoon i have a lead management review meeting - which will last for about 1/2 hr.
