- dakilla91, on 10/10/2007, -3/+171I am sure a ton of people have this work schedule already, thanks to Digg of course :)
- haski, on 10/10/2007, -19/+161This kind of job would be for me the worst nightmare. I like learning new things, having some challenge and actually being useful. This is really far away from the best job in the world. seriously.
- JasonQG, on 10/10/2007, -0/+54You could use your internet time to cover those odd desires.
- mb3581, on 10/10/2007, -0/+49hmm...sounds like my job
- py3a, on 10/10/2007, -1/+48I used to follow this schedule last time I had an office job:
10:00: show up.
10:00 - 10:30: just kind of sit there.
10:30 - 11:30: work.
11:30 - 1:00: lunch.
1:00 - 2:30: work.
2:30 - 3:30: gym.
3:30: go home.
So all in all, that's about 2 and 1/2 hours of work a day. That's while I was getting paid for a full 8 hour day.
It was nice because it was a huge company and nobody really cared what a single employee did. And it had a really nice on-site gym. That year was the only time I religiously went to the gym every day. After all, I was being paid for it :) - hudef, on 10/10/2007, -1/+463:30 get head from secretary.
- nerd05, on 10/10/2007, -0/+41I don't know, that sure isn't a lot of time to browse the internet.
- badboys213, on 10/10/2007, -0/+31"Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can't see me, heh - after that I sorta space out for an hour. Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too, I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work"

- lead2thehead, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26Must be a government job.
- sharkoman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23Sounds just like what I do...just throw in taking a couple of long dumps throughout the day and replace tea time with an afternoon frapucino at Starbucks.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22On the plus side, though, you can go to work without wearing any pants.
- EarlOfLade, on 10/10/2007, -2/+23Sounds like my job, except I don't have to go to work nor go home afterwards since I work from home :)
- RobotKing, on 10/10/2007, -11/+31Because people voted on it....which is how this site works.
- MikeCampo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+22Because this site is no longer geared toward tech news or other events happening in the world, just [PICS] and old videos.
- skratchnerd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15i love takin dumps on company time. those are the most rewarding.
- Visp, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16Its called summer associate at a major law firm. Get paid $70/hr to do exactly that.
- goat2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15out of what
- AndrewJC, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14This picture was the first thing that popped into my mind when I read the headline...
- paulajohnw, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14I dunno seems like a long day to me.
- Ecco2, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15If you're _that_ busy enterprening stuff, how comes you're on Digg ? :-D
- Tabou, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13No wonder you didn't get the joke.
- byrdgang, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Dugg down for promoting learning.
- noumuon, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15http://www.kontraband.com/show/show.asp?ID=4317 from the random links on that page
- praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -0/+13You saying pants are mandatory at your work place?
- Drewboy64, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11"I like learning new things, having some challenge and actually being useful. This is really far away from the best job in the world."
You must be a pornstar! come on! Admit it! - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14That is exactly my last office job. Except I hated it and wanted to kill myself. I actually tried to, at one point. It was a meaningless, pointless existence... I was getting paid (a LOT too!) to sit in a chair. But it meant nothing because I knew I was wasting my life in that position. Since when does a great job equate to "no real work"? - the best jobs are the ones that are constantly challenging and deeply rewarding. This is not the "best" job - maybe simply the laziest. All such a job will do is make you fat and stupid.
Now, I'm an entrepreneur... every minute of every day is spent building my business. I love it and couldn't be happier. I'm busy from the minute I wake up to the minute I go to bed, but I love every second. - digitalspeed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10"so then you must physically bring the specs to the software people?"
"well....no, my Secretary does that..."
"What would you say you do...around here?"
"Well look I told you, I deal with the customers so the damn engineers don't have to, what the hell is wrong with you people!" - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -5/+14The dream job ..
- tibbon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9You mean... that isn't a normal job?
- mrASSMAN, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Which company?
- DJCult, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9His boss is totally looking over his shoulder.
- manitoba98xp, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Because 772 people (as of now) found it interesting/amusing. That's it. There is no more explanation.
- TheMidnight, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9All right, who put my Outlook Calendar on the Internet??
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -5/+12you n00bs think thats a good job, but pretty soon, you'll be trying to hang yourself w/ ethernet cable. You are of NO VALUE, do NOTHING of substance. Pretty miserable existence.
- plbland, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7You'd be surprised!
Honestly.. it's soooooo boring. - imtigger2, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10Sucks ta be you! I suppose it's ok for you, but WOW... I tried that once and it was a disaster for getting things done. As well, talk about going stir-crazy.
In my opinion, if you wanna keep your sanity, your workplace should be physically separate from your residence. Just like if you want a good nights sleep, you should keep your T.V. viewing room separate from your bedroom. Same concept.
Again, my opinion. :) - Shirleycakes, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Seriously. I was expecting one man and several scantily clad females in any variety of situations.
- mlerner, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7That's pretty much my daily schedule except substitute coffee break with browsing Digg and tea break with browsing every other tech site. Yes, that's how challenging my job is.
- jsdratm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6There are a lot of jobs like this if you get into a white collar profession. Even as an engineer you can easily waste time sitting around and "working" by staring at code or "researching" on the net.
- arjung, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5you only worked there for a year? go figure...
- byrdgang, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I'd love a job like that. Mind giving us your job title so I can check out job postings?
- sgtbutterscotch, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Yeah, but not when it's Business Time.
- 30r05, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5...people go to work while wearing pants?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6It's Sunday, and also laundry day. I'm waiting for my wash to finish... posted via wifi on my laptop. FYI, I'm a photographer. And no, my issues weren't completely related to the job, but just being at a point in life where I really didn't want to be. The solution was changing my life and making it what I wanted. Sounds simple, hard to do if you've ever been in a down place. In my case, I've discovered it actually had a lot to do with nutritional imbalance - I started a serious vitamin and supplement plan that has worked out just great. Moral of the story: Maybe you shouldn't judge people so harshly if you don't know the details of their situation.
- cy9ez, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4That's something I could see George Costanza doing...
- falcom, on 10/10/2007, -5/+9best job in the world .. blow job?
- MavRevMatt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Isn't this what they do at Digg?
- xorprime, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Thanks for posting our sched. Our office is in Sydney AU, 20 meters from the beach.
