Has anyone ever pulled the work for a while, get fired and then collect on the pay for the next year while not working, then get another job and do it all over again scheme?

Darn near. After days like today (staying until 5:00PM for no reason... literally being sent down to a hallway with 15 other people and 2 brooms to clean it for 2 hours because we had to accomplish "something" during our work stoppage that isn't even holding back our production)...

...it's a very long time left... :(

Myself and my co-worker each have an Xbox 360 setup in our data center, so we go in there and do some gaming. Then take a nap.

I don't have time to be bored at work... I hate Tim Horton's.

I used to work at a call center doing tech support for RoadRunner Internet service. That was a boring job. I'd be playing PSP while helping customer's fix their problems, or surf the Net (with limited access). I used to bring a Yo-Yo too.

I love Tim Horton's. It's a nice treat every time I'm north of the border (just a few hours away, mind you.) Any place that serves donuts with everything can't be bad! It's always a favorite destination when I go up to Vancouver to catch a hockey game. :)

Currently in class, so I get on forums, chat with friends, stalk people on facebook and playing random games to pass the time. I hate 4 hour classes!
